+Logan Deak -- It's rough early season. Look through my other videos and you'll find one from the previous year when we climbed the right side during a storm in very thin/mixed conditions. The N (really NW) face comes in late winter/spring the best. Check out adirondackmountaineering.com and go to my slide climbing page. The first section is winter mountaineering...you'll get some ideas from there. Ice is in right now on alot of backcountry venues.
+Frank Cappelluti -- Thank you! Frank, I watched someone fall down the bottom 200' as we approached. Luckily he only sprained his ankle. You're falling/tumpling about 900+ feet from the top. I personally enjoy soloing it and many do, but I'd say most rope up from what I've seen.
Lovely, thanks for sharing this!
how good is gothics early season? do you have any suggestions on where to go if the ice isn't fully developed yet? cool video btw!

Great video Kevin. Did you need any rope for this at the higher elevation?
