Tomorrow: Training Climb Two

Tomorrow afternoon, JohntheClimbinggMentor and I are meeting at Vermont's Smuggler's Notch (basically a pass on the shoulder of Mount Mansfield) to do some more training: crampons, ice axes, and ropes. We're approaching from opposite sides of the Notch, climbing up the closed-in-winter part of the road (highlighted in yellow).



...If I'm going to stay on track with my training for the May 25th Vermont City Marathon, I also have to run 17 miles tomorrow.

Somehow.

Glissading down a snowfield with an ice axe in my hand sounds like more fun.
