Tree Sap

My friend Lex and I decided to head out to Annapolis Rocks in MD. to do some climbing yesterday. For some reason Annapolis Rocks is nowhere near Annapolis. It's on the other side of the state... go figure.
After a 2.25 mile approach hike on the Appalachian Trail we arrived to find the rocks on were on the opposite side of the mountain than we thought they were which put the climbing in the shade.
This, combined with 40mph winds and temps in the 20's, made for a cold, cold day. About the only climbing we did was some bouldering in the sun in an area out of the wind.
On the way out I shot this image of the frozen water and tree sap hanging out of the side of a tree next to the trail.
I think next time we need to double check the direction the rocks are facing before we head out on a 2 mile uphill approach with high winds blowing us off the trail and temps well below freezing.
