Climbed "Stairway to Heaven" (WI 4, 800+ feet) in Eureka with Aaron. My first big multipitch ice climb. One steep, long, pretty hard pitch, some easy WI 3 stuff, and a long brittle pitch of 3+ or 4-.
It was mentally challenging for me even as the second--just a totally different experience than ice cragging. Physically I felt good; being in shape helped a lot. Calves are sore afterwards, forearms fatigued, but that's about it.
