Ice Climbing Road Trip (6of6): Back to ERB for Hellroaring Falls

With high 40-50* temps in the forecast, there was no need to stay in Cody. We knew there was ice in ERB plus its on the way home so it was a pretty easy decision to leave. We got there Thursday with enough time to run up to Hellroaring Falls and make sure it was in. We farted around on some beaver ponds and got to watch an incredible sunset over MTs biggest mountains. Friday morning was T-shirt weather but we went climbing anyway. Hellroaring Falls was drastically different than all the other climbs we had done on this trip; it had signs of being climbed! Ice gets easier to climb the more traffic it sees. I think its WI3. I lead it easily but slowly knowing it was the last ice of the trip. We spent 9 days on the road and we climbed ice every day but one. We had to make one stop to refill a propane tank (that I thought was full) and our PBR stash but other than that, we were extremely self-sufficient. No problems with the truck. No problems with the camper. No problems with Johnny Law. No injuries. No bickering. A VERY successful trip for the books. Thanks Devin! (99% of the photos courtesy of Devin)
