More fun new ice routes by our crew with a stunning scenic backdrop! This time on a shorter northwest facing wall (500') we've dubbed the WayBack Wall beyond Western Brook Gulch, 12 miles into the backcountry from Parson's Pond. silasrossi, capt_crabwalker, ryanstefiuk #newfoundland, #northeastice, #climbing_is_my_passion, #iceclimbing #climbing, #climbingismypassion #escalade #escaladedeglace, #outdooradventures, lasportivana, camp_usa, rab.equipment rab.equipment.us, #skidoo, #climbingpicturesofinstagram
Got a bit Scottish this past weekend on Cysty Ugler | WI3 M4+. The rotten ice and cold temps made this one a real battle! (My face says it all)
I also lead what I believe to be French Press | NEI 5 M5+ in lean conditions. The crack was overhanging and sustained with insecure placements. The pencil-like column at the end made for an amazing finish! Highly recommend getting on this one if you’re in the area!
We finished on Knob Lock Chimney | WI4, which was a great way to end the day!

Excellent day out with ryanohathaway and the_hemlock_apologist . We started the day out with the fickle and suberb #mixed route “Cysty Ugler”. Thin conditions but great turf shots! “Sisters right” was in great shape and we climbed an interesting #mixed variant on the right. Good times:)
An amazing day yesterday climbing the first ascent of a 1100-foot WI5+ route in the stunningly scenic Newfoundland backcountry with ryanstefiuk. It was a line we had seen 5 years ago while climbing a different route in the same valley. Last year on an attempt, we had snowshoed into the back pond just below the route but were forced to turn around in scary whiteout conditions. This year, we had snowmobile access and better weather which made for a great day of riding sleds and climbing big ice. #northeastice, #climbing_is_my_passion, #iceclimbing #climbing, #climbingismypassion #escalade #escaladedeglace, #outdooradventures, #lasportivana, camp_usa, #skidoo, #climbingpicturesofinstagram
De retour tranquillement à ma passion ⛏️❄️🥰 après 4 semaines d’un sternum fracturé 🥳 En bonus les amis que j'avais croisé depuis longtemps ✨🤩
Ma partenaire a reçu un bloc de glace 😔Il y avait plusieurs cordées autour. Elle est top notch, je l'ai traité aux petits soins 😁
À compter de demain 1er mars c'est malheureusement la fin de la saison pour Shawbridge 🤷♀️
Back slowly to my passion ⛏️❄️🥰 after 4 weeks of a fractured sternum.
As a bonus the friends I've seen for a long time ✨🤩
My partner received a block of ice 😔 There were several party around but she is top notch, I treated her very carefully 😁
As of tomorrow March 1st note this is unfortunately the end of the season for Shawbridge 🤷♀️

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.

If you’re looking to train for bigger alpine objectives, Smugglers Notch is THE place. Many people think Mount Washington’s Huntington Ravine is the only place to go for Northeast alpine training, and in certain conditions it is a good option, but when conditions are solid, Smugglers Notch is superior.
This reel shows the progression of our day, and demonstrates some of what makes Smuggs special and superior.
First, there’s the time spent approaching versus training. Ascent and descent times to the Huntington classroom are typically minimum 4hrs. At Smuggs, it’s more like 2hrs. This is primary when winter daytimes are 8-10hrs.
Second, Mt W is, as the mwobs webpage says, “home to the worst weather in the world.” While that looks hardcore on a bumper sticker, it often doesn’t lend itself to a productive training environment. Smuggs weather can be wicked, for sure, but it’s generally more manageable than Huntington.
Third, lower avi hazard. Learning to manage avi hazards is an important part of alpine training, but training in Huntington is more likely to get shut down completely, or curtailed due to avi hazards. Smuggs definitely has avi hazards, but they’re less likely to close or curtail the learning.
Lastly, there is less time pressure to hit the Alpine Gardens and descend. Most Smuggs routes allow you to take the learning at the pace necessary, and descend when advisable. Plus, this allows time to practice valuable technical descent skills, skills not typically in the Huntington ascent curriculum.
This is not meant to disrespect The Ravines—everyone should experience their grandeur—but I’m always one for the dark horse and, more so, for maximizing learning, so I think it’s time for a shout out to Smugglers Notch as an awesome alpine training ground. More aspiring Northeast alpinists—and guides training aspiring alpinists—need to put it on their radar.

A fair bit of “Positive Thinking” today at Poko! Victor, who I’ve been #iceclimbing with for 20 years, was game to have a look at the newly formed PT… the first pitch was bare rock a few days ago! The frigid temps the last few days formed this route quickly! We were able to access a thin vein of #ice on the first pitch that was well bonded. Leading up to it was suspect…eggshell over sugar as was the exit. Overall the ice was good albeit thin, with a few hollow sections at the transitions. The upper section was thick but quite brittle and candled due to the rapid freeze. It was an excellent day out with good company! On another note, there is very little structure at the bottom and top of the first pitch. I’m not sure if the coming warmer weather will improve or deteriorate. This pitch often collapses when it becomes unglued Please use good judgment if you decide to give it a go!
The very best kind of sunrise.

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.

S.N.R.S | M8 - Sustained right off the deck. This rig will keep you on your toes till you hit the ice. However, it’s not over until you clip the chains! Amazing addition to the already stacked Snake Mountain cliff!

Thin But In!
Despite the cold temperatures and wind chills, people are getting out and ticking off the classics. “Thin but in” is what we’re hearing for conditions on many routes but still very climbable for those solid at the given grades. In many cases, water is still flowing on the surface offering a break from the cement-like […]
The Ice Season is Off and Running!
Finally, colder temperatures have arrived, albeit a bit colder than most of us would have liked to start with but ice has formed all over the Northeast now. Many of the classic lines are in and the season is solidly underway! Even the often elusive “Called on Account of Rains”, WI5+, at Lake Willoughby has formed and […]
Guy Lacelle Killed By Avalanche
Bozeman, MT – World-renowned ice climber Guy Lacelle has died from injuries received when a small avalanche, triggered by a party above him, swept him over an ice climb in Hyalite Canyon where he was participating in the Bozeman Ice Festival. The loss of Lacelle is felt by many throughout the sport of ice climbing. […]
