That's crazy. Do you break out ice climbing gear and finish the climb up that ice flow?

This is the only climb I've posted that I did NOT lead (start ground up and place protection to clip into as I climb, so that if I fall, I take a big and sometimes dangerous fall [a "whipper"]). You can see that the rope comes from above ("top roping").

You do the first half of the climb using ice axes and crampons on the rock itself, which is really fun and creative, and then I transition to the overhanging ice dagger and, as you can see in the pic, I pumped out and had to hang on the rope until my forearms and core recuperated.

This shows how you place protection on ice:



I put ice screws in and clip the rope to it. In ice climbing, you CANNOT fall on lead or you'll probably fuck yourself up good, I have never fallen on lead on ice and never will

This pic is of a frozen waterfall that is so big we had to do it in two pitches. I set the belay after the first pitch in an ice cave that formed naturally, and here you can see me leaving the protected cave to lead the next pitch.

You filthy rednecks might know Seneca Rock, West Virginia.



This next pic is off google images to show how CRAZY this this formation is, this imagine shows the spot I will be reaching in 20 feet in the above pic
