Hi friends,

Thanks for tuning in today! On this episode, I sit down with someone all of us ice climbers in Northern Ontario owe a big thank you to – Author of Superior Ice, Eric Landmann.

Eric started making trips to the region in the late 80’s, and went on to become a central piece of the ice climbing scene around here – meticulously cataloging first ascents and pictures in the 90s and early 2000s and putting together the books that we now prize as THE resource for ice climbers in this neck of the woods.

I was quite excited that Eric agreed to be on the show – and especially just in time to put this episode out ahead of the Nipigon Ice Fest! I hope some off you have the chance to listen too this episode on the way to Nipigon.

Also – I have an exciting piece of news to share for those who like to climb on tools, and especially those who like to do so even when there is no ice – there is a drytool comp coming up in Southern Ontario this spring! The comp is scheduled for June 3rd at Of Rock and Chalk in Newmarket – check out @drytoolnight on Instagram to stay up to date on details about the comp as they are released.

And with that, here's my conversation with Guidebook Author and Ice Climber, Eric Landmann.
