Ice Climbing --- 2/3/2017 - 2/5/2017 --- Adirondacks

Crowds at Pitchoff. Checked out Clifford, Kit Kat, Practice Wall and ended up at the Quarry. Good climbing. Next day we hiked to Lock Ness, but the ice was mostly not there. Walked in to Chapel Pond Canyon and scrambled to the top of Hot Shot/Ice Slot. Fun climbing.

Saw a very playful mink on the hike out! Awesome!!!

Most of the photos come from Jazz and Cathy. Thanks!
