Connor Kopko, Andrew Holm and Shane Lucas observe the ice cavern.
This is the sleeping quarters for Austin Baird and Bryan Szolusha. They built their quinzee, or igloo.
The big event - climbing the ice - was not for the faint of heart.
The view from the top is much different than from the base.
WEST MILFORD — Troop 159 Boy Scouts from Our Lady Queen of Peace in Hewitt did not let the cold weather get them down. They spent a late winter weekend at Camp Tri-Mount Scout Reservation in Haines Falls, N.Y., building igloos to sleep in, exploring ice caverns and finally climbing the face of ice falls.
The troop is an active one. Boy interested in high adventure camp outs or just scouting in general can contact Scoutmaster Tim Kopko at scoutmaster@OLQPTroopandPack159.org.
