5.8 miles Cumulative Ascent: 1560 feet. |
 We stop to watch an ice climber on roaring brook falls |
 A keene valley house |
 roadside cliffs in ice -- climbers prepare |
 Cascade lake |
 We park barely off the road |
 and we are off |
 fine trail |
 grand trees |
 careful crossings |
 me too |
 bark and snow |
 tree wells on the climb |
 walls of ice |
 woodpecker |
 poptarts |
 snow on the shelfs |
 now the real ascent |
 steep climb |
 we pose |
 drifts and gray clouds |
 but it is cold and windy |
 hint of the view |
 wide and lovely |
 the sun struggles |
 descend we must |
 one way or another |
 on downward |
 snow piles |
 sap sucker holes |
 past the wall of ice and soon homeward |
