Rachel and I are out of control psyched for this ice season. This summer (AKA the off-season), we moved to Keene, which was probably the single best decision we've ever made. It's already proven to be one of the nicest and most tight-knit communities anywhere. Love it.

Less than one month until the climbing of verglass while dragging a rope begins; The season of "climbable, but not protectable." Is it still soloing if you hope to get pro in, but end up placing none?

Keene NY? We're neighbors...

Certainly not Keene NH. Nice but not tight or knit. Good for you guys!

Hopes & what one thinks a climb may be like or yield, fall away during. Then what happens and the effect we get come.

Oh yeah, I forgot there's one in NH. Yes, ours is Keene, NY, ground-zero for all things awesome and vertical.

Well said, Alfonzo. I absolutely love the complete immersion that comes with a hard climb - that feeling afterwards that it could have been five minutes or five hours and not knowing (or caring) which. I get that a lot more on ice than I do on rock.
