Is feeling regular-cold not cold enough for you? Do you have a lot of frustration you need to get out and smashing bullet-hard ice sounds like the perfect solution? Then this is the trip for you! Join us for an intermediate-focused top rope ice climbing trip this Sunday at Champney Falls.

Climbing ice with temperatures as low as predicted is extremely physically challenging! We will drop lots of top ropes, and likely hang on them liberally as we try to climb brittle, fracturing ice. We will also have time for skills instruction/checkout for those aspiring to a CoI rating.

Sign up if you: * Have experience climbing ice and know you like it * Can belay with a tubular style belay device (Like an ATC and not a gri-gri) * Have attended the winter safety lectures * Are comfortable with your layering system for single-digit fahrenheit temps

Do NOT sign up if you: * Are simply curious about climbing ice * Have doubts about your ability to manage your temperature in the cold (Sign up for ice on a warmer day. You will not enjoy this trip.)

There will be a mandatory pre-trip meeting this Thursday at 9pm in the MITOC office where you can rent gear and we will talk through trip logistics.
