New England Ice, 24-25 February 2001
Shut Down... Again

Landslide Gully (grade 2-3) from the Notch. I'm going to spoil things right now and say that we ended up attempting this route the next day, due to deep snow on the approach to Shoestring.

We knew nothing about the route other than what we could see from the road, and at the time had no plans to climb it. We could see a large ice fan, the big, open area about two-thirds up the route, from the road, and could see that it provided reasonable difficulty. I would guess the route involves something like 2500 vertical feet of climbing.
