Mount Willard, February 2004

On a very cold and windy February day Ryan Shackleton, Hosanna Lillydahl and David Gaylord set out to Crawford Notch for some ice climbing. At the end of the day they had survived frigid temperatures and climbed Gully #2 1/2 on the Mt. Willard cliffs. In all it proved to be a difficult but rewarding day.

Mt. Willard with its many ice flows	Gully #2 1/2 (the middle flow) was the climb for the day
Another view of the Willard cliffs	Heading up the approach to the climbing
Looking down the steep approach, a solid climb itself	Looking up at the climb which was to the left
The climbing afforded a fine view of Crawford Notch	Mt. Jackson

Climbing carefully	Ryan moves past some thin ice
Halfway done	Hosanna withstanding near 0 temperatures to belay
Heading down after a hard, cold day of climbing
