After Canada, Jen and I drove south to Colorado, visiting a good friend and some fam on the way. Then we turned West and made our way to Lake City.
I went ice climbing in Lake City about a decade ago, and they have drastically grown the ice park since then. I actually like it much better than Ouray. Less people, super easy access, more steep lines, and you can camp in the parking lot.
Plus, since they don’t shut off the water and there are relatively few people, the climbs don’t become picked-out hook fests. You can do the same line on back to back days and it’s drastically different.
And, Murphy can hang out, which is pretty sweet.
