Long shot, but I really doubt you have boots/'pons for rent? Might be fun to drag my siblings up to Chicago for day or two while home in St. Louis for the holidays. Would also be my first ice of this warm-ass Northeast season!

  • * Yes, we have all you need for rent(depends on sizes-not too small but cramps should go on most sturdy boots you have).

Keep checking here to see when we have ice again. Thanks

Will this be around till the weekend (i.e., will you be farming more over the rest of the week)? And how far from Madison, WI?

Edit: Just checked the weather forecast - looks like Thursday and Friday are all set to ruin it for the weekend.

I don't know why some people are being such dicks to the OP. Get a life.

Speaking as someone who has lived in both climbing paradise and climbing hell (currently London), I'd sure go check this place out if it was all I had (and I don't even ice climb).

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
