Outing Club gets icy

It’s April! And it was 43 degrees today. 🙁 But what a better way to take advantage of this frigid winter than to go ice climbing! As part of the Vassar Outing Club, I recently organized five climbing trips for this spring with Alpine Endeavors, a local climbing company, and we’ve just had the first of our excursions.  Me and nine other students traveled to the Catskills and managed to have A LOT of fun on the ice, even though we caught the tail end of the ice climbing season.  We could hear the ice melting as we climbed!  Here are some cool pictures from our trip, including me belaying a fellow outing-clubber, my Co-pres doing some mixed climbing, and me ‘staring down’ the ice.  It was awesome!
