After church met up with Adam and Kelly. We drove up to Ice Cave and did some serious hiking and spelunking. It was quite difficult so I'll count it as a workout. While climbing down an extremely steep section my footing slipped and I fell down a few feet, luckily I managed to grab a tree trunk, but I got caught in some thorns and scraped up pretty badly. I hung on for dear life with one hand and with the other got a rope tied to the tree and climbed down. It was quite heroic. After about three hours of hiking they dropped me off back at the Basin, so I ran up to my house, which gains about 400 feet altogether. Managed 7:30 avg. pace which was sweet.
