Lady Killer

Went to Golden this weekend. Dinner at the Moberly Mountaineer Inn and ice climbing on the itinerary. Climbed Lady Killer (Grade III), which is about 10 minute east of town along the highway. The first pitch, ice was strong for half but deteriorated into brittle chandelier type ice for the last 10m. Very exposed.

Second pitch was firm ice, in the sun...gorgeous day.
