 Here are some poor images of the festive night at the Grand Junction Climbing Center.
We (WCCC) were doing a fundraiser for a purchase of more wall in Unaweep Canyon.
We had a great turnout and had a great time climbing in the dark.
I believe we raised about 1300 dollars which is HUGE!!
Thanks everyone for donating and buying raffle tickets and having fun!!

Special thanks to SCARPA and CAMP for the goodies too!

 It started off cold and in the shade.
 Good times on the ice and finding frozen waterfalls!
 Don't slip!
 Finding hidden hangouts.
 At the bottom of a waterfall the ice was frozen and left behind huge chunks!
  On the way back in the warm Grand Junction spring sun.
