Never done it myself, but a buddy of mine is a big climber and goes to Ouray every few years. Let me know if there are any specific questions, and I'm happy to pass them on.
From my perspective, it's a pretty chill place to go as ice climbing goes. The whole area is man made in a sense (water pipes at the top of a narrow canyon). There will be tons of people around, and it'll be highly organized. I have to imagine that help isn't far away if it's ever needed. |

Yeah, we're driving in from Texas... believe we have the best path available and driving a Tacoma TRD 4x4 off road, so we shall see. I'll definitely have everything looked at prior and somebody mentioned putting sand bags in the bed, not sure if that's required or if so, how much. Quote:

Camelback for hydration?
SCUBA tank for air? Mole Skin for blisters? Cinnamon Schnapps for lucidity? Monster for energy? Depends for...you know, emergencies? Freedrop Airbags for in case you screw up? That is where the Depends come in handy... Boy Scout Motto: |

Ok, so last week we spent 5 days in Ouray and we did ice climbing on two of those days. It was a blast, but it was also quite humbling. If you don't trust your feet, you're screwed and it takes some time to get there. My oldest (21) was all over the ice and did an amazing job. If you ever have that itch to scratch, I highly endorse giving this a try. It's not too expensive either and the guides were great.

As for me, my climbing is mostly concentrated on stairs these days. They're kind of challenging.

When were you out there? My girlfriend and I spent a few days out there in early December.
Pretty great time of year to be out there. The skiing is on the other side of the mountain, so it's one of the few mountain towns that have a genuine off-season. We had restaurants all to ourselves and the hot springs were pretty slow too. They were preparing Box Canon when we were out there, so I'm assuming you all were a week or two after we were there. |

Assuming you had a burger at Maggies and maybe a few stouts at the Grumpy place next door? A couple of those places have some amazing breakfast tacos, which were really just huge burritos. Crazy good unless you're on a diet.
