New England Ice, 1-4 March 2002
Hurry Down Doomsday

I'm comin' to get ya!
-Jimi Hendrix

Energized by dark chocolate-covered espresso beans and an odd sensation laboratory research has identified as "satisfaction" (hitherto rarely experienced), we raced down Webster. Brian provided much entertainment, including two dramatic luge accidents. I don't think I've ever seen anyone hit a tree so hard in my life. Or break one so brutally.

Above, Shoestring Gully from 302. The ice began about two-thirds of the way up the route.
