Description

My neighbor Ed wanted to give ice climbing a try.  I though Secret Waterfall was a good option given its proximity to Denver, Colorado, short approach, and fairly easy climbing.  John tagged along to provide a belay and enjoy the morning.  We each got a few laps in despite there being a couple parties already at the climb when we got their around 8:30 am.  It was a good day and Ed indicated he would like to go climbing again.
