So in today’s dispatch from the ice, I mentioned that the ramp you walk down to get to the ice is exciting. This is how exciting it is:

Let me tell you, it was scary going down that thing. It is soooo steep. Fun fact: In Chris’s picture of the ramp in the journal, I’m the person walking down. And clinging to the railings for dear life. Going up wasn’t as bad, but I was grateful for those bits of grippy black tape.
