I know it seems early, but I'm trying to find a partner in central VT for the winter. I'm primarily looking at the Williamstown ice flow or the Montpelier area as a place to train after work once a week for an hour or two and probably go to Smuggs or Crawford Notch once a month on a Saturday. I have not led ice but have two seasons of following and want to break into leading this year. I am laid back but take safety seriously. Anyone interested?

I'd be interested in climbing bolton quarry or Smuggler's Notch. I'm in Lebanon NH, so after work sessions would be difficult for me to make.

Im in. Be ready to solo if you're gonna climb with travis though.

Be ready to have a sketchy belay and deal with weird hat choices if you want to climb with Zac...just saying

Be ready to be hit on and have your gear stolen with travis.

i'm down. What's over in Montpelier worth climbing?
Let's all just head up to the lake and get demoralized together.

Sounds incredible. I cant wait for ice!

Sounds like you guys have climbed together! haha There's a short 50 foot flow just outside the Montpelier. Not sure if it ever came in last year as I only made it out twice last year and went to Crawford Notch both times. I want to find a place I can get some laps in after work since I have a wife and kids and can only squeeze out a Saturday or Sunday about once a month.

Seamus, I know your pain. 2 kids here too. This spring I discovered, literally on the last day the flow was still in, a good practice runnel 5 minutes from my house. I was both annoyed and excited for next season.

Neither Zac nor Travis know a damn thing, but if you wanna climb with a real expert, I'll be happy to toss my contact info out there too. 607 206 2946 is my cell.

Oh Mike, raising the bar! I'd climb with mike he usually brings hot drinks. Zac doesn't even know what's going on. He hasn't even reproduced...yet

Let me defend myself.... its important to mention that I was born and raised in canada... the ice and cold is to me what a plate of mommas home cookin is to the average person.

Also, mike has kids?
