Lame

I'd like to state right up front that I'm a pretty lame ice climber. I'm actually quite good at it; I believe that the nature of my work lends itself to me being good at ice climbing: standing on an I-beam, drilling over your head into steel with a heavy, high-speed drill that could seize up and break your wrist at any second is not totally unlike balancing on front-points on a frozen waterfall trying to get a pick in over your head. So yeah, I climb ice pretty hard. On top-rope.

Ice climbing is more of a pain in the ass than rock. In terms of getting geared up and out there. Hard to motivate, especially for the first time in the season. Hey, it's like a 3 hour drive from where we live!

So I have to confess... We decided that it is TOO FUCKING COLD to go ice climbing this weekend. Yes! We are lame!! Try again next weekend.

And yeah, I'll definitely post pictures!
