Another Blast from the Past!


The enclosed slide is 30 years old. Mike Brochu, Michael Franklin, and I are headed up to do an early repeat of the Black Dike on Cannon. This is still a classic hard route, although in those days its reputation was fearsome. This morning it was 15 degrees, and the ice climbing season is probably only a couple of weeks away. Sharpen your tools, and reserve the third week in December for the Fossil Icefest.

Oh, and Mark is coming east this weekend, so the next postings will be from the Gunks!
