The next morning we woke to a nice breakfast provided by Jim.
These people are honestly so nice! It's like Keene Valley attracts
goodness!
Anyhow, we didn't know what we should get on, but the book said that
Chapel Pond Slab was long and relatively moderate, so we parked there
and headed for the base of the route.
Here is Laura at the base. 700 feet above is the end of the last pitch
with thin or none existent ice over snow and some plump ice up top.
I passed a miniscule belay tree that was supposed to be the end of pitch 1
and Laura simulclimbed below me until I found a stout tree to make a belay.
