Most of the pre-race meeting for the race the next day centered around rain, hail, lightning, grizzly bears, mountain lions, and snakes... It was going to be a good day!

Potatoes, hops, and . . . ice???
Idaho is known for its potatoes, and amongst connoisseurs of strong DIPAs for its hops, but it turns out it also has good ice!!!
Since the first time I swung an ice tool with a bunch of friends at the "Children's Wall" in Ouray Colorado, February of 2008, I've been a bit obsesses. The fact that large waterfalls freeze at all is pretty cool, and then you add in the fact that you can climb them??? It doesn't get much better!

For years now I've driven up to 15 hours just to climb waterfall ice. When I moved to Boise in 2011 I heard rumors about local ice that would form with just the right conditions . . . but for 3 1/2 years the right conditions never quite seemed to line up with my time off . . . until now!
