Grotto Canyon WI4 / M6+

Spent a great afternoon on His and Hers. My first Mixed lead on the route to the left of Hers M6+ . I was in good company with Mark, whom I've climbed with, and a friend of his Dan. Like I said good company. I didn't feel the ice was in the shape I wanted it to be in for a first WI4 lead. So I lead the mixed route with a rest on the 3rd to last bolt before the ice transfer. The ice was very thin at this spot so I lowered off. Know your limits and climb to live. There was an older female ex- guide for Yam. who lead His and nicely. She was pulling her ropes to leave so we pulled ours up and topped it. It was nice to try some thin ,brittle, scary shit on top rope, not so scary at all.

Hey Dan.
