Another first today: visited the SoHo REI! I had to pick up a couple Nalgene accessories (yeah, I’m that guy) and ended up with this Utility Cord, as well. (a) because I, like Samwise Gamgee, know the importance of having a bit of rope, and (b) as a consolation prize because I didn’t buy any of the extremely tempting freeze dried camping meals.

Soooo I’ve wanted to go ice climbing ever since I saw Touching The Void (aka a movie about almost dying whilst ice climbing) and REI has a trip ice climbing in the Catskills and it sounds so cool.
