Ice Climbing Attempt - Rollinsville, Colorado

 Train heading towards the tunnel.

 Bishop sprinting in the parking area.  Notice, we can see the ground right there below the snow

 Train headed into Moffat Tunnel.  Notice the trees with no snow on them, the mountains not fully white, and the brown weeds poking up from the ground...not much snow and ice just yet.

 Quite a bit of green, and not a ton of white around the place.

 We passed the first ice climb that had literally zero ice on it, and this is Amber hiking into the woods towards the north facing ice climb.

Sean and Moab walking on ice and snow above a tiny creek, hopeful still that ice climbing will happen.  Alas, it was not to be...someone was on the north facing ice climb already, and Moab decided she was done hiking uphill...we ended up with a nice snowshoe experience for about two hours...
