Ice Climbing --- 2/7/2010 --- Salmon River Falls

Ice was bullet hard. We "warmed up" on Mate, Spawn and Die which kicked my ass. Came down and got a massive case of the screaming barfies. Then we got on Salmon Nation which was much easier. Though we didn't top it out because of all the loose icicles at the top. I finished the day with another run up Mate, Spawn and Die. Went much better the second time. Guess warming up does make a difference.
