● Thresher
Feb 9, 2025 · Lead. With Amy Ransom. 2025 AMC Boston Ice Program. Went up the chimney and discovered nine people waiting to finish the upper section. Traversed to the right-side rap station, lowered, had a snack, and then re-climbed the chimney and ultimately the slab. Great feet and tool placements, plenty of ice to work with. A pleasure of a climb.

Feb 10, 2024 · 2 pitches. Follow. With Hannah Chidekel and Xiaoyu Chen. 2024 AMC Boston Ice Program. Made the mistake of thinking traversing left at the top would lead us to the upper tier and we could finish with the Cleft. Instead we ended up at the top of the Cleft and were finished all the same. Oh well, we had a good adventure, anyway :)
