Ice Climbing (approach/return) 1:00:00 [2]
Spent about an hour at Frankenstein Cliffs hiking into and out of climbs with pack. Great day.
Ice Climbing 6:00:00 [2]
This was the 2nd weekend of our (AMC Boston Mountaineering Commitee's) ice climbing program. After a chaotic breakfast at the Glen Junction where I assigned 20 students to 20 leaders and sent them off into the world, I took a student to Frankenstein for some climbing.
Manny is an MIT grad. He got into climbing by exploring the Wombat cave at MIT; apparently some elevator shaft type thing with no doors... He's also on the board of the MIT outing club, and recently approved - along with Dan Walker - the purchase of a block cutter. Manny, Pavel, and Sara used the block cutter to construct an igloo during the first program weekend.

So I led Manny up some Frankenstein classics: Pegasus and Standard Left. After our 2 climbs, I gave him some tips about building v-threads, placing ice screws when leading, and clearing bulges.

Ice Climbing (approach/return) 30:00 [2]
Ice Climbing 5:00:00 [2]
Climbed with Yuki, a 60 yo nuclear engineer who has been ice climbing since 1970. Yuki is one of the best ice climbers I know, so I was psyched for the opportunity to follow him up a grade 5 ice climb at Lake Willoughby. We climbed Glass Menangerie, which is accurately described in the guidebook as follows: Delicacy combined with bravado is the preferred technique on this steep route... Although the start is long and sustained, the top column is the crux.
View of the lake from the base of our climb. The day started around 10F and reached 26F by the time we left.
Took the line up the middle, into and out of the ice cave, and then out left to the trees.
View of the first pitch.
