So I opened the mailbox and pulled out the latest issue of The Conservationist and saw Jason Hurwitz marching up the advocate on the cover and inside a full article on ice climbing by our own Ranger Rob!
Very cool, check it out if you can!

Cover shot:

Looks like a screen shot from the video that Ryan Stefiuk shot. It's on YouTube somewhere, I'm sure.

Props to Rob, Jason and Ryan. That makes THREE mags that have featured Catskill ice this year.

When Jason gets around to thanking all those who made his fame possible, I'll remind him that those used to be my tools. :-)

How ironic to have so much coverage of Cats ice climbing in a year when it is such a lean year for it.

Just looked at the issue online. Holy crap... I'm in it!

Link for the lazy???

Now you don't even need to click anything retroscree!

and MIke you are also famous from the postcard at Rock & Snow:

I like this shot...(it's also a crappy scan, the real thing is much better)

Did I get a 'model' release of you for that shot?... hmm.. you're not blonde and in a bikini. (thank god, no offence) so guess that doesn't apply here.

Holly crap, I forgot I'm actually in as well... Where are my rolyalties...

They are coming actually. The only picture they left out of the article was one of me

Good article and nice picks, but nothing about golf?

Now that's surprising.

Any of you ice-stars in this?
