With winter on the way I’m already turning my thoughts to ice climbing and camping out. This weekend Bonnie and I bought a toboggan for our camping trips. The toboggan was originally designed by the Micmac Indians for transporting heavy loads over the snow. http://www.answers.com/topic/toboggan#
Anyway, we bought an 8’ toboggan that had only been used a couple of times for $50. And yes, Bonnie found this treasure on Craig’s list. I’m looking forward to trying it out with some gear on it!
And with winter comes ice climbing. I had Chey out last year climbing with me in the Camden Hills and we had a good time.
Chey ice climbing
Bonnie went out with me, but by that time she was about seven months pregnant and couldn’t climb due to the fact that her seat barely fit around her. Below is a picture of her belaying for me while I climbed.
Yeah, she’s cool.
Here’s one last picture. This is me doing the lead climb to set up a belay station.
This section of the climb isn’t too challenging, but it’s a good warm up and pretty fun. Bonnie will be up there this winter.
