Learning all over again

G and I took a recent trip (2/3/13) to check out the ice in the Catskills, dragging along Ragan an Marco who were totally novice to climbing (great idea in the end, but I admit I had my doubts about G's sanity at first). Full writeup to come, but thought I'd get some pics up in the meantime; more to come:

Shaggy, maybe I should head back to the Mystery Van?

Melting runoff + 30F temps = instant ice

G's solid photog/encouragement anchor

Ragan sends the ice flying
