I just watched a video of the ice fest in ouray. What's with the man made tower?

I haven't climbed and real ice in a decade. Is ice climbing so easy these days that it takes man made obsticals to make it hard?

In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth. <br /> <br />The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve. <br /> <br />After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only "orphans" that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger. <br />

It's just a fun circus. Bring some hootch, some vino, and little bit of cowbell.

If I remember correctly, just a few years back, a natural awfulwidth shut most down when Wharton cruised right up it all. I bet Langston coulda romped up it too, that year.

After somewhat following the world cup thats going, the course is korea looked to be all plywood and plastic, also.

But maybe world cup has always been that way.

Exactly. Those folks push it year round for real. It's a festival, for fun.
