Boxing Day Ice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With a long walk of 5 minutes on Boxing Day morning I found myself stood at the bottom of a ice pillar 18m high. This was to be another new route to be done in the Chew Valley. It was a fine lead by Rob T on some brittle ice. The ice didn't feel nice on the second! The second ascent was then bagged by Ian Hegg. Top effort to say we were all dragging a stone of turkey up with us and some had hangovers. Description below.

Location: Ladcastle Quarry

Turtle Terror IV 5

Climb the vertical pillar direct to its top 18m.
