TOPPING OUT ON THE NLRI ICE WALL 3.8.09
Here Tony from New York enjoys ice climbing for the first time. Despite the mild temps we had over the weekend (daytime in the high forties with partial sun) the NLRI Ice Wall is holding its own due to the fact that it is oriented due north and never takes any direct sunlight and is insulated on the outside by our "Dry Ice" Foam panels by Entre Prises which allow us to continue ice climbing year round!

Northern Lights Rock and Ice/Ice Wall 2.17.09
Even though the temperatures have been getting well above freezing due to the way our ice wall is positioned it never takes direct sunlight. Consequently our wall is in very good shape!
Taste of Ice at NLRI 2.17.09
The Taste of Ice sessions we offer are an excellent way for folks to gain an introduction to ice climing with great instruction and the best equipment in a controlled environment.

Sunday Afternoon Ice Climbing 2.15.09
Sunday afternoon ice climbing right here in Essex Vermont at NLRI located adjacent to The Inn at Essex
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!
