Rest Day – Gravity’s Rainbow

So what should we caption this one with?  Here are a few suggestions:

1. What happens when you put snow shoes on a Floridian…
2. Someone gave Alan decaf this morning.
3. Alan succumbs to gravity on the approach to Gravity’s Rainbow.
4. Too much CrossFit yesterday, Alan?
5. The reason it took us all day to climb Gravity’s Rainbow.
6. The sympathy approach for trying to get out of having to break trail.

For those wondering… yes Gravity’s Rainbow is climbable, but it is very thin, there’s lots of crappy ice, and lots of crust covered rock.  Protection is occasional, and you’re forced to put ice screws in the places they tell you not to in the “How to Ice Climb” book.   My ice tool picks are now flattened stubs, and I’ll probably have to get most of my ice screws resharpened too.  It does however make for an adventure.
