Fitness the witness

So the last few weeks have been filled with early season ice hunting. It really makes no sense at all that we would be looking so early seeing that we have 7 months of winter ahead but for some reason, every year at this time the ice gear comes out, gets sharpened and is ready to go. Winter has a special attraction, thats for sure.
This fellow was spotted near the ice climb R&D a couple of weeks ago.J dog billing giv' n r on the rock below "coffee suckin' do nothings" we ended up trying this and another corner system to the right but both were a bit grim without a rock rack.
Approching "coffee suckin' do nuthin's", the route "auto de feu" is visible on the right. Even though we didnt climb the route, J and I had a great day out in the mountains drinking coffee, driving rally style and enjoying good comapny while trying to scratch our way up. Its great to know that winter is truly on the way and we will all be enjoying it soon.

Glad you're out checking out the ice so that when I get there and want to "giv'er" we can just go and get at it. I guess I better get out and do some serious hiking here around the city so that I can keep up with you later on the walks into the climbs.

In the summer I'm
Dusty Dave but for winter I become
"The Iceman"......take care buddy and see you and Michelle (the carpenter) soon.
