Update: We changed the trip to Sunday, apologies for any inconvenience!
We'll be going ice climbing at Champney Falls in the White Mountains on Saturday. Open to anyone with top rope belay experience - if it's your first time ice climbing or not. You should have some winter experience. It is a 1.5 mile hike in (3 mi roundtrip), so be prepared for that.
Also open to intermediate ice climbers who might want to practice screw placements, refine technique, or just get some laps in.
Saturday will be super cold (real feel temperatures between -15F and 0F) and ice climbing involves minimum 50% standing around belaying, so having your cold-weather kit dialed is a necessity.
Pre-trip meeting will be Thursday 6pm.
