Bouldering through the Melt.

A week ago today, Athens, Ohio was blanketed in 8 1/2 inches of fresh snow, with wintry temperatures to match. 2016’s 30th day of January, however, turned out to be a wonderful 60 degree day that allowed us to get in over four hours of great local bouldering. The longer I explore the more it seems Athens is simply full of best-kept secrets. It’s outdoors are packed with plenty of fodder for a plethora of activities, rock climbing being our choice for this beautiful January day.
