Our friend and Michigan Ice Film producer Aaron Peterson, was scouting out the ice yesterday and sent us these shots from the field.  The photo above is of the Munising mega classic HMR.  For the climbers who put the effort in to access HMR WI5 6oM, they will be rewarded with a challenging,  beautiful climb.  Located in the most remote portion of the park, this climb sees  little or no action throughout the season.  For the committed, this is the ultimate climb in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

These two columns form the climb Twin Towers which is just south(west) of the arch on Grand Portal Point.  Access the climb by snowshoeing the Mosquito Beach Trail until it reaches the cliff’s edge.  Follow the cliff line east for about a mile.  The climb forms just south east from Grand Portal Point.  WI 4+ to 6  45 meters

Even with recent warm temperatures, the big ice formations are starting to appear. This coming week we have below freezing temps predicted so start to sharpen those tools and stay tuned for next weeks report!
