Ice Climbing Hyalite Canyon

Jon belays Robert, Chris watches

Went ice climbing with some friends on Saturday.  This was kind of ice climbing 101,  3 of us have never climbed ice before, although Jon and myself have rock climbed in the past.  We were at Hyalite Canyon, just outside Bozeman Montana, and we climbed what is called Genesis 1.  A perfect piece of ice for beginners and experts.

It was a glorious day to climb.  Slightly overcast in the morning with temps in the mid 20's.  Clouds started to break up later in the morning and the sun was out around lunch time.  Here we see Jon and Chris getting it done.

This was a lot of fun and I look forward to doing it again. Now all I need to do is get my own gear... does it ever end??  Ken
