Got a little bit of ice climbing experience? Top-roped a few routes but want to learn more? Curious about leading? Join this trip and hone your technique!
Where/When
Meet at the Champney Falls parking area at 8am on Sunday January 22nd.
Champney Falls is a beautiful ice area just off the Kancamagus in NH. The approach isn't too long and is almost entirely flat and definitely enjoyable.
Goals
Learn how to better choose a spot to aim your ice tool. Learn how to use your feet more efficiently. Learn how (but not practice) one might lead on ice. Get in as many laps as the day allows.
Cabin (Optional)
I will be staying at Intervale on Sat night. You are welcome to join!
