Climbing today was good! It's only my 2nd time ice climbing and it's great to have my friend Ian of Escalade Quebec with me to show me a few pointers. It was also great to meet his girlfriend Rebecca and his friend Norman and Norman's friend, Ginette.

When ice climbing, I found myself using a lot of the techniques I use for indoor and rock, and it doesn't work at all on ice (surprise, surprise!).

It was also surprisingly warm today (4°C !) and the water was running down some of the columns. However, the past few days have been in the minus digits and there was no direct sunlight on our wall.

All in all, a good day to be outside, even for winter!
