The Gun Club, Connellsville, PA
12/19/05 Got to climb NRA today. A little thin and lots of running water. Its coming in nicely. Surface ice is gone now and should rebuild much better with the freezing rain and colder temps on the way. Heres a photo of Doyle on NRA 10 day forcast looks very promising for fatter ice!

12/9/05 Ice is forming up nicely. Lines are climbable, but most likely be destroyed by a day of climbing. With the cold weather sticking around, my guess is that next weekend the lines will be in solid. Here is an overview pic of NRA and Caveshot. Here is Skymonkey in lean conditions.

1/19/04 One word can describe condtions here. Absolutely SICK! there are routes that havn't been in since I started ice climbing 7 years ago. Griz and Britan visited from the Western part of our state and enjoyed some first ascent action. Brit led a steep and nasty 4+ at the right end of the cliff. Griz had a long intense battle with a nasty mixed line. The fight went on for what seemed like forever, but Griz came out the victor. There is a tremendous amout of ice here. New lines above the target ledge have formed up making for some 2 pitch action. I'm heading back out on Friday to send a new thick fat line. Check back for more info. or contact me if you want to climb. report by Tim

12/20/03 Climbs are forming up nicely. N.R.A and Cave shot are both coming in. Cave shot definately has more ice on it. There are a whole bunch of new lines coming in to the left of Cave Shot! Looks like we'll be have some new routes this season. report by Tim

Rich Hill, Connellsville, PA

12/8/05 Ice is forming up nicely. Definately top ropeable lines abundant. Nothing tops out for leading, but thick ice none the less.

12/20/03 Dave Lynn and myself climbed here today. The ice was a little thin in places but definately climbable. The upcoming colder temps will help in development of the ice. report by Tim
