I am hoping to do some ice climbing in Smugglers Notch this weekend, looking for a partner.

This is my 2nd Season ice climbing. I'm looking to lead some WI2-3 grade ice or follow something more exciting. I've got a rope, screws, and everything I'll need for myself. Any partners would need their own ice gear.

Thanks!
Dave

Is it going to be cold enough for good ice? We went out yesterday in upstate NY and the ice was pretty good but very wet. Today through the weekend is supposed to be very warm, be careful!

It has been in the single digits most days this week, with -10F or so at night. I don't think 1 or 2 days of warmth should hurt the ice too much. Saturday has a high of 36 which should be alright, Sunday looks like it will be no good with a high of 45. It is still forecast to drop below freezing every night. We'll see how it goes!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
