Good job, nick. You're really getting some exposure out there. And in different ways to keep it interested. I'd like to help make fliers to help physically spread the word. Let me know if you're interested.

Fliers sound like a great idea. The more climbers the better the weekend. Shot me a copy before it hits the press and thanks for the hand. Lets make this thing happen.

It will be great to see team California back in action. Catch all of you in February.

Valdez Ice Conditions 1/10/15
One Month till the Valdez Ice Festival!!
Keystone Canyon is looking good now, the Lowe river has frozen solid at Bridalveil and Hung Jury. Hole In The Wall is in and has an approach trail punched through and seen multiple parties along with Sheep Creek. The 17 Mile Wall, 19 Mile Wall, Thompson Pass and beyond are all looking great! Mineral Creek and the Duck Flats are half formed up so this rain could make things go ether way. We now have enough water to keep things fat so lets see what mother nature brings us next.

Nick and the crew clearing snow and prepping the bonfire area for the ice fest. Lots of pallets to burn!
