Ouray Ice Park

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

Being so convienient, you can’t help be climb in the Ice Park.  Besides, it’s acutally quite pretty in there.  After doing 80 pullups in five minutes at crossfit, plus some other feats of strength, Lisa and I went down to the Ice Park to get our photo taken by our friend Helen Richardson from the Denver Post.  There wasn’t much open, as it was a busy weekend in the Ice Park.  Grandma’s Glass Pony Shop WI5+/6 was open however and so we did that one.   Lisa didn’t know that it was one of the hardest pitches of ice in the Ice Park. Hee hee… she should know who she’s climbing with.  The route is pretty much 140 ft. of sustained, vertical ice climbing.

There’s a few other photos on a route called Super Dave, those are the ones on the rock.  I wasn’t even aware those were being taken.
