Description

As old ice climbers, Brian and I are just trying to hang in there and have some fun every now and then.  We went up I-70 past Georgetown, Colorado, and ran several laps on the I-70 Sickle.  I led it twice and then top-roped until I was spent.  Brian led it more than me and also got some top-roping in.  After our quick sesh, we returned to Denver, Colorado, and enjoyed the rest of our day.
