Ice Hiking Craze


These are they type of pictures that embody 1,000 words at first glance. I took these pictures over winter break when I took a trip to Rickett's Glenn with some friends. We have began making this trip an annual one because of the extreme thrill of trudging through the frozen waterfalls. This was the first year I attempted the "This falls trail is closed to all climbers except: Registered Ice Climbers" trail. I took my life in my hands, really, because my boyfriend purchased "crampons" for me insisting that they were the only equipment I needed to complete this trail. Although the scenery was breathtaking I am unsure if I could knowingly go onto this deadly trail again. I think it was one of those, once in a lifetime experiences that I do not need to try again, but the pictures I captured are ones I will absolutely treasure forever.
