After a few attempts to get a couple of first ascents on ice that didn't work due to snow and ice conditions, final got out for some ice cragging. Meet up with Ian G. for a fun day of playing on top rope on the short, but steep ice route, Tasting Fear. This short pumpy grade 5 route is located way up Galatea Creek. I had to break trail through boot top snow for most of the approach, which seemed pretty long. Cool little waterfall and bay in the canyon where the climb is located. Climbed up easy mixed terrain left of the pillar then set up a top rope and enjoyed a few steep laps.
Great fun to be on ice again.
