So the snow has not been coming down but the ice is getting fatter and fatter each day.  This has made for a fantastic ice climbing season this winter.  The famous local ice fest has past and now the crowds have cut back.  I could not believe last week there were at least 2 other climbing parties in Lower Ames yes Lower Ames.  Josh and I were there to do some laps before having to make a trip to Montrose for groceries and to drop off our new guide uniforms to Scotts designs for embroidery.  We ended up climbing up and out of the gully and to the middle falls were their was no one.  There wasn’t even anyone on the Ames Ice Hose.

So we got some short laps in and brought our new shinny jackets off to Montrose. We are very excited about our new Mammut uniforms for this winter.  They are going to be droped off tomorrow and appearing on our staff this week.  It is exciting to have a full uniform for our guides.  What a great feeling.  Photos of  the staff in all the goods will be coming soon.
