Winter Dance

Hi All, I was driving home to Livingston yesterday and from North 19th and the nearby Freeway in Bozeman you can see a significant amount of ice on Winter Dance (yes you CAN see it from town). Start doing yer pullups.... Also, here is a copy of an email I sent to a friend. Good hunting! I've got too much going on to go climbing right away but if you are jonesin' to go ice climbing ASAP you should find a partner and go to either the Sphinx and or the route Ice Dragons in the East Rosebud. I'd bet my bunions they are both in and probably good shape right now! Kris Erickson, Doug Stoup, and I did Ice Dragons last year (the day after climbing The Ramp) and it's much better than the Sphinx. Same sort of 4 hour approach but 6 real pitches (if you go all the way to the Plateau)instead of 2 or 3. The description in Winter Dance isn't the best so if you find someone to go over there I'll dig up some updated info. Bring back pictures. JoJo
