North East Ice – Your Ice Climbing Connection for the Northeast, and Beyond!
About NEice.com: I founded NEice.com (North East Ice) back in 1999, a time when phones with cameras were yet to exist, and digital cameras were just emerging. Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram were distant on the horizon. My passion for ice climbing, coupled with my tech-savvy skills, drove me to address a pressing need—to share real-time ice climbing conditions across the Northeast.
Ice climbing conditions are notoriously unpredictable, and I recognized the need to unite the dedicated community of ice climbers who share this unique passion. Armed with determination, I launched a website and invested in a digital camera to document my ice climbing adventures throughout the Northeast. To my delight, NEice.com became an instant success, attracting thousands of viewers and amassing millions of page views. When you searched “ice climbing” on Google, NEice would proudly claim the top spot.
Sustaining this endeavor was a constant challenge, but I persevered. Over the years, NEice.com connected me with countless kindred spirits and led me to explore breathtaking ice climbing destinations in a spectrum of conditions. NEice.com has always been a labor of love, and even after 24+ years, it endures, though now in the shadow of larger social media platforms that have risen to prominence.
As times change, NEice.com’s moment in the sun evolves. It remains an invaluable archive, preserving the essence of ice climbing in the Northeast and serving as a source of inspiration for the next generation of ice climbers. However, the time has come for the next wave of innovation and social connection, driven by the younger generation. I eagerly anticipate what the future holds, as NEice.com takes its next step in this exciting journey.
