climbing WILLEY SLIDE with Ryan

Climbing up Willey Slide for Ryan's first multi pitch ice climb.

Hell yea guys, love to see it! Congrats on your first lead Ryan. Killed it!

[@ChrisGranata]

Ryan did a great job, except for his little anchor hiccup lol. We'll have to work on that.

So coool! I'll sign up next time haha

[@ChrisGranata]

Your definitely coming next year for the begginer class. I'll make sure you get a spot.

Great climb, enjoyed watching you guys climb this NE classic and glad you guys had fun! This brought back memories of my climb there - the first time I lead a pitch. The second time I climbed there the guy I was with fell through the ice on the P1 just over the bulge, sheeesh! LOL!

[@ChrisGranata]

The ice was a bit thin in some spots, but still very solid. This was a great warmup for the season to come.

So stoked to see my favorite adventure Channel in CT getting back at it. Looks like you healed up well and are ready to get back to it. As far as the GP batteries are concerned, are you using the enduro ones (white batteries). I've been using those on my cold rides and boy are they a difference maker. Either way cheers Chris! 🎉

[@ChrisGranata]

I changed to a white battery after the first pitch, and it did make a difference. Had no issues after the switch. I DID Heal up pretty well, and I'm stoked to be able to get back into the outdoors. I have some fun trips coming up, a week of ice climbing in CO next month, and a massive rock climb out in Vegas in March. Stay tuned.

Willeys is awesome when you have it all to yourself, but that decent still blows

[@ChrisGranata]

The decent wasn't too bad this time around. We followed someone else's trail down and did ALOT of sliding on our butts, it's was good fun.

[@ryanrogers7696]

Sliding down on the descent was one of the best parts!!!

What happened to your helmet? Had in on when you started. You musta dropped it! Did you?

[@ChrisGranata]

The go pro was attached to my helmet. So I remove my helmet at each belay for about 30 seconds to talk to the camera. I don't like to remove the gopro from my helmet because it's easy to fumble it and drop it.
