Chantilly Falls

Jane Terry easing into her first ice climbAnother early season outing, late in the season. The weather here is still pretty mild, and with my week's skiing tally at two sessions already thanks to CADS, I headed to Evan Thomas Creek in K Country with Matthew and Jane. Jane had never climbed ice before. Jane had a close call on the approach, just like Ian the week before - slippery stuff, that ice....I need to start remembering what it's like to be climbing it for the first time again; after a while you forget that it's an alien feeling to balance on crampons on a 30-40 degree slope. After that little moment, we had a great time; the route is in odd, but good condition, and even better, we didn't get ambushed by cougars on the way out. A great day on all fronts.
