Winter Wonderland double header part 2




I knew after a cold day of bouldering i needed some water action.With low flows everywhere wallace suggested Tellico thinking snow melt would bring it up.That's right,a snow melt run on the Tellico!Upon arrival i found a river covered in ice and snow,but with water too!It had rose from an ELF level of 1.4 to an acceptable 1.7 and the banks were so frozen over it was channelizing to make it feel more like 2 feet or so.The ice forced us to take some different lines which was cool and i learned that you can boof the shit out of a rock thats covered in ice!Cold,but fun as hell and beautiful,i'd do it again.Some great pics and write up at http://www.southernboof.com/ check it out.
