Ouray, Colorado - Ice Climbing Nirvana!

The past few days have been spent recovering from a bit of Jet Lag inter mixed with a whole heap of Ice climbing fun. The Ouray Ice Climbing Festival has been in full 'swing' and it is such an impressive set up and place. Middle America is being very cool right now.

It has been blue skies and sunny since we got here, apart from yesterday, when it dumped over 12 inches of fresh powder snow!

Below are a few picks to make you think about all that is available over the pond.
