Waterfall Wednesday w/ ferlandpat brought us back to Beaver Brook Falls. After climbing here in December and not being able to get to the right side, we wanted to come back and try it again. Pat lead up the middle, and in spots the ice was very thin (video). Once at the top, we took turns lowering down, and climbing the right side. We each did a lap, then we rappelled down the right side to the base, and I lead up the right side.
We have come to the conclusion that the Otter is our spirit animal for climbing this year, since we have seen Otter tracks at almost every waterfall we have climbed.
Once again, we had a mix of ice conditions, but the weather was perfect, and we had a great day.

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday’s blue skies were replaced today by…this.

And what a difference three days make!
But the crew was solid, prepared, and understanding of the fact that the alpine dishes out what it chooses.
Moreover, they were solid in their systems and ably put together multi-pitch techniques.

Get ready Greenland, this crew is now ready for it dishes out during their future adventures there.

Back out with seymourmountains
after a bit of a hiatus, as it’s been a full-tilt winter. But glad we were able to sneak it in, as it was satisfying to see the steady progress he’s been making.

Though the prospects in North Conway seemed thin, we were able to get on Goofers (thin and delaminated at the top—not recommended if you’re expecting WI3) and a refreshed and un-picked-out Black Pudding Gully that felt beyond the grade to me—but maybe that’s just because unpicked-out columns are my nemesis!

Whatever the case, Matt styled them both. Though it hasn’t been the strongest ice season, it’s good to see climbers getting stronger.

[Thanks as well to the party that let us pass on Black Pudding]

A frigid, blustery welcome to Willoughby for pifflek and Toni today. Still, they took it in good style, focusing on taking their strong climbing fundamentals and moving into the more dynamic, 3-dimensional climbing techniques demanded when moving into steep ice.

Climber. Climbing. Climb. The hierarchy.
That's mine. What's yours?
This triad occurred to me yesterday while belaying Bogden up P3 of La Loutre in the spectacular Hautes Gorges Parc Nationale, Quebec.
Climber: The people you choose to climb with, share emotions with, share decisions with.
Climbing: The experience of the route, the beauty of the line, the joy of the movement.
Climb: The goal, the satisfaction of completing what is commonly defined as the completed route.
I go with the order written above. I'm running out of IG's 2200 character limit, so read on in the comments if you're interested in more depth.
What order do you go with?

Another great day hanging from an icicle w/ ferlandpat
I took the lead, and set up the anchor for some top roping. We each did a few laps, each time taking a little different line. Pat lead up another line further to the left, but I didn't get any pics or video.
Weather was excellent, and the ice was in very good condition. Topping out was a little sketchy, as the turf is not frozen everywhere, and we had to improvise to top out by using trees and branches.

Mount Washington-The approach and gully ascent. Booked it up to #huntingtonravine to send it up Central Gully Sunday.

Joined by my good friend gregorywyka. Both of our careers are dedicated to protecting and preserving the environment. Rather than work, this day was dedicated for fun in out favorite environment..the mountains. Joined by the locally and world renowned alpine guide matt_shove to make sure the mission was a success. Great guy if ya ever want to “buzz the tower”

“I had Commander Heatherly in my sights, he saw me move in for the kill. He then proceeded below the hard deck. We weren't below 5,000 feet for more than a few seconds. I had the shot, there was no danger, so I took it.”

Climbed Willey’s Slide today with ferlandpat
No waterfalls, since anything with a high volume of water flowing is not very frozen. So, we opted for a spot that I have never climbed, and is considered one of the more popular climbs. We had the place to ourselves from start to finish.
Pat went up the first pitch, set an anchor, and belayed me up. I got to lead pitch 2, Pat led pitch 3, and I led the final short pitch to the top.
While it was not the longest climb I’ve done, or the steepest, it is the most exposed I’ve been on a climb. But, I didn’t think about anything but climbing, and taking in the view. It is the longest continuous ice I’ve climbed on though.
As Pat was leading up pitch 3, I looked over the where I was originally going to end on pitch 2, only to see 3 small spouts of water coming up through the ice. 😆
The ice was, once again, a mixed bag. There was very thick ice, crusty snow, snow cone ice, and of course, on my climb up pitch 4, I swung, went through the snow and found rock. I think I’m going to need new picks next year. 😁
Oh yeah, and the butt slide back down the walk off trail was fun.

Fun venture out to nab some Yukon Gold with mrhobbes33 last Saturday. I was really glad I brought a hard shell because it was a soaker!

Baked Bullwinkle.
John making his way up dissolving foot placements and meringue tool hooks. That’ll do it for me on this one for now. Hope this moose returns this season!

Last mission to Space for awhile.
It’s been a stellar voyage over the last few weeks on this semi-ephemeral line, Who’s Who in Outer Space. Glad to share this last splash with long-time ASG climber Martin. He’s climbed just about everything by now, so it’s fun to find a new line with him.

Check out the last photo for a look at how the Space ship has finally crashed back to the planet. And, on the note of photos, big thanks for the skills of 📸 b.grant.simmons, catching the moment as he cruised up Gent.

Went Westside at Willoughby today. My first time over there in years—maybe more than a decade. The broad flow right of Woober Goober (Arctic Crossing?) seemed like a fine broad expanse for the mountain_cold_weather_company to practice multipitch anchor-building and station management. And it did provide—330’ of climbing in all, with lots of skills along the way.

It was a real pleasure to have this perspective on the cliffs across the way, where I enjoy so much time. And a motivated crew to share it with.

For folks looking for a quiet moderate in a classic setting, Woober Goober Gully is an excellent adventure, and this flow could certainly make it a excellent day of climbing. Ideally the lake is frozen, but now there’s an established trail if that’s not the case.
