Bear Spirit WI4 / M7 20/03/07


Topping out on Bear spirit Finally ! The first time I came here it was above my ability level but now is my limit. I hit my ice tool and dropped it as I was placing an ice screw on my first lead so Mark lead it and I lead it after that. We did laps on it and the mixed route all day. we were the only people there this day. Awesome !


It was SOOO much bigger than when I was hear in December.
Dead vertical !

I was climbing NO Love M7 on top rope after the lead. It's a fun route with a nice transfer to the ice. To bad I got to pumped to finish the route.
This is Hocus Pocus M7 as well.

Hocus Pocus.... M7 again.
A look up as the sun made peak out. Beautiful !!
" The Cathedral" a look up on the inside of the waterfall or around back what ever.


Behind again.
Mark on his lead, he is getting really good now with strong technique.
Nice new M10 crampons Mark. ooooo shiny !!!!
