Over winter break I got up to a little ice climbing, skiing, and biking. On 2/13, Me and Asher headed up to Franklin falls via the sno-park but got stopped short due to a road closure from forest service staffing issues. We hiked for a bit but realizing it would be faster to turn around and drive to the summer trailhead, we got back to the car. However due to traffic we weren’t able to hop on i90 EB so we turned around and drove to Wayne's world. There was a small ice pitch formed on the dark side which we lapped a few times before heading back to seattle. That afternoon my dad and I drove out to Mt Bachelor where we skied from Monday-Thursday. Fun little resort but pretty low angle. The day after getting back, me and Asher made a second attempt on Franklin Falls, where we were able to go to the winter trailhead and great some great climbing. Well, great-ish. The ice was getting pretty wet but me and Asher still got 4 laps in each. On Saturday and Sunday the snow conditions were worrisome so I decided to make it a productive study weekend. I got in a lap on predator on saturday where it was in surprisingly good condition. On Sunday I rode NOTG, OTG, and Atlas in the pouring rain where I crashed on the blue trail “Inside passage” on my way to Atlas. Sometimes you let your guard down I suppose, and the slippery roots didn’t help. While I didn’t get up to anything extremely rad, I’m pretty proud of my break. Here's a few fun photos.
