Note: Another safe and successful ice climbing trip at Lake City. It was loads of fun and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves. This was the second year utilizing the new ice wall which really adds to the ice park's capacity. For our trip to North Clear Creek, when we arrived there was a group of 11 people on the falls. That was really discouraging. So we went back to the ice park in town. Overall, it was another awesome climbing weekend climbing Friday afternoon, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning. ~Britt
