Me and a few mates did strata florida this week, we went well prepared for bad weather but didn't expect 7inch thick ice and a foot of snow!
It took us 4 hours to get half way and when we got to the first river crossing it was frozen over! We gave in (after crossing the river/ice very slowly) and headed back because it was starting to get dark and didn't fancy digging ourselves out in the pitch black.
here's a few vids
