Ice Climbing
What a crazy sport! You either hate it,, or you get addicted
to it! The beauty is what gets you hooked! The forest and the
mountains are so beautiful in the middle of the winter. And so quiet
and still. But sometimes things turn bad real quickly, and
knowing when to turn back is the key to survival. Some of my best
winter days were with this crazy fool (Rick) at twenty degrees below zero,
halfway up some huge hanging semi-detached icicle, laughing at the
approaching storm!

Note: most all of these pics were taken with one of those cheap
disposable cameras.
