When ice is real hard, it shatters and you can get microscopic shards of ice. You don’t want them in your eyes.

I’ve had the first ascents on most of the waterfalls in the Rocky Mountain Front.

We secure to two trees in case one of them breaks.

We don’t want to leave them. They cost about $75 apiece.

These falls are typically always frozen, but they’re getting shorter as the snow pack increases.

Other ropers get real heavy when they get wet.
