Climb #2

Blake’s lead. We Walked down the cliff to the south passing a sad
sight (a bolted crack). I took a picture of it but it wasn’t noticeable
enough to post. We also passed a chimney that wasn’t in starting on rock
and leading to thin ice and a bad top out! This looked like fun but was
too hard for the moment(edit: it was Dirty Harry). At the end of the cliff there was a route with
a few options to start. Blake chose the thinnest steeper part with some
prodding from me! Apparently this may be "Hidden Gully"(WI3). The first 15 feet was
about WI 2+/3 to a rampy detached top with lots of water running behind everything.
Blake ran up and I followed on a fun mixed corner. When I got up top I noticed a lot of bare rock with shattered ice around it. Blake told me that he was trying to place and the ice was so bad that it just fell off. It was very thin indeed! We rapped off of a small tree,
Blake tried to tie the rope in a knot, and we walked to the car. Here we are
at the top of the pitch. You can see that we are basically right in town.
