Winter has come to a close here in Colorado. That doesn’t mean we’re hanging up the tools – I’ve been ice climbing in RMNP as late as mid-June – but it does signify a change, a time to slow down and look back. We had a cold winter this year, and I put together a quality ice season.
This is not usually this type of blog, but since I didn’t write about a great many of these climbs, we’re just gonna wrap them all up here.
