Climbing in Glacier has always been a benchmark climbing experience that's qualified as training for anywhere in the world. And, getting to spend another day questing for some good adventure with this crew made the weather inconsequential.

Kelly Cordes, Justin Woods and Chris Gibisch are all climber's climbers. Dominating characteristics like good humor, classic self-deprecation while being tough as nails makes being in the mountains with these guys something I always feel lucky for.

It was so socked in, we literally had to ski to the base of the wall to see what ice was formed up. But, when the white vale was lifted, we were pleasantly surprised to find blues and greens frozen in place on a big, steep and intimidating wall. Exactly what we came for.

The ice looked fierce and it took some K2 humor to get motivated in the "Scottish" conditions. But, the ropes came out and it felt good to swing the tools on the high walls of the Park...... Even if our views were less than revealing;-)

The climbing was tricky and more enjoyable than either of us expected. Swinging tools, and chossy rock in the GNP certainly didn't disappoint.

Chris and Justin worked on a potential new route. They had an awesome day yelling a multitude of bad movie quotes back-n-forth and, inspired a trip back up there sooner than later.

All in all, for me.....it was another stellar and lucky day in the mountains with 3 stellar dudes.

It's funny, no matter how much or how little you end up climbing in Glacier, it's ALWAYS a big day in the Park.

The road-soda's were earned;-)
