Description
Brian, Jeff, Kevin, and I took a day over the holidays to run up to Vail, Colorado, for some ice climbing. Brain led the Spiral Staircase and set up a top rope. I also led the Spiral Staircase and then brought Jeff up. As Brian and Kevin made a few laps on Spiral, Jeff and I went up and set up a top rope on The Pencil. We each climbed it a couple of times and then moved the top rope over to The Eraser. After climbing this ice a couple of times also, Brian and Kevin joined us to take a few laps. We broke down the top rope, rappelled back down to the base of Spiral Staircase and then made one more quick lap on it before calling it a day.
