Description
One of my wife's employees wanted to try ice climbing, so she volunteered me to take Kylie out for a day. I wouldn't generally take someone to the Spiral Staircase for their first time ice climbing, but Dan and Jeff already made plans to head to Vail, Colorado, so Kylie and I decided to join them. Dan, Jeff, and I each got some leading in while Kylie had an opportunity to swing tools for the first time. Everyone had a relatively good day, but it was fairly warm and the ice was super wet.
