2017-12-26 thru 30 Cody

Exciting!

December 26-30, 2017

I closed out the year with some climbing in Cody, WY.  I had the week between Christmas and New Year’s and was able to join my friend Doug and new friend Chris for some stellar climbing in Cody.  While the town’s temperatures were frigid most days, the climbing areas had a bit better temperatures.  Though most of the days it was either very windy or snowing.  Luckily the temps were mild enough to make things comfortable, enough for ice climbing anyway.  We were able to get some good routes done on some fresh ice.  I’ve forgotten how difficult non-picked out ice can be.  While the drive is quite long from Salt Lake City, I was able to redeem some air miles and fly up.  Which was great on the way in, on the way out I wasn’t sure if I’d get out of town.  There are only 3 flights that land in Cody this time of year.  The mid-day one that I was on Saturday was delayed because of wicked snow conditions.  Luckily the plane eventually made it in and we were able to make it back to SLC.

I gotta get back soon while the ice is so good and tick off more of the classics!
