All ice climbing isn't about getting to the top, but about the experience in itself. Which now and then might be a total fail. But each fail is a learning experience, and in this case I'll need to be even more delicate with my footwork, and stronger with my upper body strength. What an incredible test of fitness it is.

I wish. At this park the rock is crumbly sandstone. They don't want us to touch the rock but they're cool with us on the ice.

@davideverson1 Жыл бұрын

Oh dear Zoey, my biggest fear is going through life and wondering about the what ifs. I cannot go from good to great without continually learning and taking new steps forward. While I climb some big frozen waterfalls, and explore high altitude mountaineering, this was a little climb and the fall would have been minimal. Any bigger climbs I'm always roped up. I have too much to live for. Some risk keeps us moving ahead, and I do love the release of dopamine to the brain. High risk I really do avoid these days as I've gained a bit more wisdom. Find your adventure, dream big, go after it, fear not -we'll, maybe a little, but be wise!

When it went from stalagnate to stalactite you should go for figure 4.

@davideverson1 2 ай бұрын

I was a bit afraid it might fracture across the top. Being in the figure 4 if it came down might be a bit painful. It was the finish of the day after climbing some tall stuff, just having fun!

Notice how he drops his arms at the end. Unless you’ve done it you have NO idea how exhausting it is to keep your arms above your head while supporting your weight! Nothing like rock climbing. I’ve done a lot of both- no comparison. And, yeah not exactly a challenging climb, but “something to do”.

@davideverson1 Ай бұрын

Thanks, people have no idea what training is like, weighted pull ups, lock outs, all ganging from your tools. So much fun!

Not sure what that was supposed to be. Dangerous AF. If the icicle breaks off on top, they might get seriously hurt. Falling even a meter onto ice with your butt is no joke, let alone being hit by 500 kgs of ice and poking your crampon into your leg.

Sometimes I'll take small risks, sometimes bigger, but mostly climb safe now. I have too much to live for so I learned to turn back or just say no these days. No more free solo climbs either.

Believe me I know. But it's sandstone and ice climbers have an agreement with the park not to touch the rock. It's super delicate. So the challenge was to get up touching the small pillar of ice only. I climb mixed elsewhere...so fun!

This is at Starved Rock State Park in Illinois, believe it or not. There are other big pillar climbs, 60 - 80 ft or so, but this little thing here, well, I want to get back on it and do it right, smoother with better technique. Not sure where you live but the ice at the park should be good to go very soon with heavy snow coming then a deep freeze and temps below 0F.

More typical would be a figure 4 or figure 9 move, but swinging an axe accurately while hanging from one hand seems very difficult.

@@dzb33 hanging in a 4 or 9 unroped, possibly landing head first would scare the crap out of me. This was short enough that if it went, I'd top out in 15 feet and be done. This was at the end of the day after a lot of climbing and it just didn't go...but it's always fun!

I guess technically it's possible if this ice was fatter... but here, probably not with something like this since he's saying the ice was pretty hollow... but it would be a pretty unsound decision to try lol. First two rules of ice climbing are "do not fall" for a reason. lol

At this state park the sandstone has erosion problems and crumbles under your bare hand. So no dry tooling, otherwise for sure it would have been far more doable!
