hoym 0 #1 February 12, 2004 Answer: Climb Ice. Don Briggs who jumps at Paradise skydives in Vinton, Iowa has put together one of the best ice climbing facilities in the midwest. A competition was hosted last Saturday sponsored by Red Bull. It was a lot of fun. The tallest of the four silo's is 75 feet tall. Here are a couple of over 200 pictures that I took there this last Saturday. Between Doc John and I, we also took four and a half hours of video that we're going to compile into a documentary of the event. (Still waiting for summer though), -mike.

CanuckInUSA 0 #4 February 12, 2004 Ice climbing is fun!!! But you really should venture down to Ouray or Lake Louise when possible. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #5 February 13, 2004 Hi Mike - I didn't know Briggsy was into ice climbing. I'd come down for that..... ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpinfarmer 0 #8 February 13, 2004 They're talking about making the old elevator in town into an indoor rock climing place. It's about all it's good for so I thik it's a great idea. I'd like to try the ice climing though, that looks like fun. Ultill I started jumping I wouldn't have thought about this because I was not good with heights, thats all changed now.
