#Climbing is so closely associated with what I eat and my weight.I eat a bunch of ice cream and carbs the day before; I'm like 2 lbs heavier when I go to climb, and I'm falling off of V2s and having trouble starting V3s.I eat healthier and don't overeat on the day before; I don't have that extra weight and I'm climbing V3s and falling off V4s.

This weekend tried ice climbing for the first time. With small drytooling experience, soft-ish ice and slightly positive slope it was surprisingly easy. Once did 5 climbs with no breaks, and only stopped because of queueAlso tried different ice tools: my new Trango Raptor, Petzl Sum'tec and two variations of non striking tools. Non striking are physically easy to to use when ice is not flat, but are harder to trust. Raptors are holding best, but the striking motion is harder to master because of the blade angle. Sum'tecs are just the easiest for beginnersAnd this was an actual frozen waterfall!(more like a frozen shell around still flowing waterfall, and the ice in the middle was quite thin and not attached to the rock)#climbing #mountains #ice
