Leprechaun's Lement (WI2-3) - Ice Climbing
Leprechaun's Lement (WI2-3)
Kinsman Notch, NH
Ice climbed at Kinsman Notch today. Only our group of 5 and another group of 5 climbing here today and after leading Leprechaun's Lement, I know why - super.hard.ice. It took me several extra swings and kicks to get a good purchase, and I had difficulty removing my tools from the ice. Gotta admit it was work and a lot harder to lead than I expected. But it was still a stellar day to be outdoors and climbing. It was good to finally meet up and climb with Catherine, Kristen, and Steve! And thanks Jeni for your help and support for my "Turning 60 and Climbing About It" project!❤️
1 lead and 3 top ropes down today....47 more pitches to go!
