What a great trip. Even though the ice park was closed, we still got in a solid 36 hours of vertical ice climbing and my climbing partner, Drue Deberry, had all the high tech tools to record the event. And I thought I was a gear junkie! With his FLIP digital video recorder, we captured about a dozen full length videos of our climbing prowess. Probably the best video is Drue climbing "Slippery When Wet," a multi-pitch climb up a portion of a frozen waterfall ... featured here:
We ended the trip with a quick stop in South Park, CO - home of Cartman, Kyle and the rest of the South Park crew (including Mr. Hanky, pictured below) and a night at Joyful Journey, a blip on the Colorado state map but a natural hot spring oasis for the seasoned traveler. Here's a shot of me after a 9am soak in the lithium-infused (natural, mind you) 107 degree hot spring:
And me with Mr. Hanky:
Good times ...

Jack, thanks for sharing the video, the photos and the post. Amazing: it was captivating to watch, and the fun didn't have to include a mishap, thankfully.
Looks like a great trip with friends.
