Ice, did someone say ice in Kentucky? Hey paclimber, I'm just wankin' with ya. Best of luck finding some winter climbers and routes down at the Red. I'm totally into ice right now, and treasure my short season here in midwest, thus forsake the rock for total commitment to the ice world right now.

Oh, there is ice in KY, you just gotta REALLY want it (and not let the honking of cars distract you) *I don't think this is legal -

They were honking because you roped up. Thats bouldering, not climbing.

can you use crash pads while ice-bouldering??? i bet you would go through them pretty fast, but you cant put a price on safety... right?

Ha, reminds me of ice skating on a frozen driveway. Ive heard tales of ice in the Palisades but maybe not so much anymore- I also used to know an old guy that would always talk about the Missisip' freezing solid in the winter so...

But it's all about placing screws and getting some practice in. I like this location. Bet the area is called 'Drive By', the Ice edition.

I think they use that green florist foam.

I think when you land in that green stuff, you leave big divots. Are the rules the same as for golf?

Yes, Chuck, always repair your divots.
