GRIPPED! Have you climbed Pic'o Vic?
When your climbing buddies tell you the route is easier than it really is, it's called getting "sandbagged."
This video is from my first day of ice climbing. I was psyched.
It is a sustained 150-foot pitch of continuous steep ice. I flipped over upside down and dropped my tools before even lowering into the canyon. There's only one way out. I scratched and clawed my way up. It wasn't graceful at all. I was swinging and flailing around all the way to the top.
This was fun nonetheless.
Type 2 fun.

Ice conditions were prime at the @ourayicepark
It was all smiles at the Ouray Ice Festival
So many people make this event special. Too many to list!

Real or robot?
Fun in the snow before the sun sets in the canyon doing as-fast-as-we-can laps. The belay ended up being the real work!
Smooth is fast & fast is smooth
...or something like that
🧗♂️The road to the Arc'teryx Climbing Academy did not disappoint!🧗♂️
I'm still feeling inspired by the energy from this experience.

Balancing Acts World Tour presented by SYSTEM_A was an evening of outdoor bouldering. Climbing outside while building community and supporting others. This was an awesome experience for beginners.
Next stop, Arc’teryx Climbing Academy in Squamish, British Columbia!
