Couples Really Enjoy the NLRI Ice Wall posted 2.15.08

Today was  blue bird with temps right around 25-27 degrees F.  Even though last week we had two days of close to 50 degree temps the ice wall is holding well. If anything it has become more consolidated. This is definitely water fall ice very similar to what you would find at Bolton Quarry or The Notch.

We usually run three lines, easier, moderate, and more difficult.  on about 16,000 gallons of frozen H2O. That amount of thermal mass which we positioned to never take any direct sunlight should hold through April.

This photo was taken today. This rock climbing couple is from Boston, but had never ice climbed before!
