Isaac climbs the Black Dike

Isaac had a fantastic weekend, too. Ever since I moved to Colorado, he has been ice climbing up a storm. He's been climbing, well, like someone who won't be living in Vermont next season and needs to experience as much as he can before he moves out West. This weekend, Isaac climbed the Black Dike with his climbing partner, Chuck. The Black Dike is a classic New England ice climb, and Isaac had a blast. He told me that it was the best climb he has done, and was extremely giddy for days afterwords. I am so happy he got to climb it before he moves!

Chuck leading the Runnel (2nd pitch?). I guess the ice was so fat that there was no scary rock traverse needed.
