My friends John and Jen were visiting from Michigan, and wanted to go ice climbing.  Jen is pretty into ice climbing in Michigan, so we planned a trip to Ouray.  Ouray is an awesome little town, and every year it creates an ice park in a canyon where there are around 200 climbs in a 2 mile area.  It's an amazing park, and visited from people all over the world.  http://www.ourayicepark.com/   (Same place as my last set of photos, this trip was outside of the annual ice festival.)

We had a good sized group going this time.  Jen, John, Val, Lori, Steve, Dave, Laura, Ben, Jen, Mike, Joel, Steph, RJ, Wayne and I.  Most of us stayed in a condo, which was really nice.  Normally, I camp, or stay in very minimalist cabins (electricity and sort of a heater; no water.)  For only a little more per person, we stayed in a 10 person condo, complete will all amenities including a hot tub.  Great stuff. 

We got some awesome climbing in, and was able to visit a bunch with everyone there.  The climbs varied from fairly easy, to mixed rock and ice; in a couple different areas.  Great stuff!  I included some photos from Jen as well.  Thanks to all for such an awesome weekend, and hope you enjoy the photos!
