Ice Climbing with Torin January 2009
Torin Fitton arrive in NH in January for 9 days of ice climbing. Ice climbing is a passion of his, during this trip Torin advanced his skills to a higher level. Torin decided it was time to get on the sharp end. During the trip we climbed around New Hampshire in a variety of locations in very good conditions. The following photos show numerous ice climbs where Torin and I shared the lead.

Cathedral Legdes Repentence in very good conditions, here Torin climbs out of the shaft on the second pitch. 
The exit of Repentence is blocked by the chockstone, exciting moves to the end.
