Adirondacks Ice Climbing

At Wharton, you have the opportunity to participate in a Leadership Venture. You go outdoors and camping in the extreme circumstances, to see what kind of a leader you are under stress, etc. The Ventures go to Antarctica, Patagonia, Kilimanjaro, Cotopaxi, Quantico (US Marine Corps), and Adirondacks Ice Climbing.

I was able to go this past weekend ice climbing. It was cool to be by Lake Placid and to see the old Olympic sites. First of all, this is probably the craziest sport ever. You have to completely insane to want to do this. It was absolutely amazing. Despite being extremely cold (it was 7 degrees both Sat and Sun -- it snowed all day Sat and we were in the middle of a squall.) I absolutely loved it. Enjoy the pics below.
