Ice!

Cold and clear at Mt. Lincoln for Cheese-O, Big Ben and Highroller as we froze our digits waiting for the only other people there to snake our line up the Scottish Gully. Ben eventually lead it out up a wet/hollow bulge, stuck in a screw about 12' up and then ran it out another 130'. I followed, bypassed the anchor and strolled another 50' to a nice solid tree, brought up CHeese-O and promptly sent him up the challenging headwall where he put in our 2nd screw of the day. 2 pitches, 2 screws, welcome to ice climbing! Headwall had a nice steep corner for the first "well I gotta pull and swing one of these tools, not sure which one is really in solid, I'll try THIS one" moment of the season. Cheese-O and Ben took on a second route with a nice thin smear and then all retreated to Breck for burgers...good times!
