Ice climbers at Kinzua Dam

Ice climbing up the cliffs above the Kinzua Dam in Warren is on a temproary hold because a major January thaw, although it remains a popular winter activity. The cliff-face is about 300 feet straight up.

Climbers come from Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Ontario, Canada. On the nearby Alleghney Reservoir, ice fishing is well-practiced sport, although the current thaw affects it as well .

I have taken quite a few photos of climbers over the years. This one is a representative image.
