Laura followed the pitch to the belay tree testing her new tools
and finishing her first ice climb of the year! She took this while
rapping the route.
We walked down the horrendously snow laden slope back to the car
and continued looking for a place to stay, which landed us at the
Ark Hotel. Jim and Gabby, the owners, were extremely accomodating and
friendly; a trend that seems to occor frequently in Keene Valley!
