If any one is interested the Widows Tears is so full and frozen from the record rainfall and now the cold temps we have in the valley.
I have never seen it so fully frozen, will try to get a pic tomorrow.

Fattrad would be interested, cuz he's got some "sharp x-15's and some curved BD thingy."
but I've heard what you really need is a VERY fast car...
don't think my car qualifies, but tempted to totter over there in my chrome-plated walker just to gaze at it in awestruck lust...

Post em up Chris!
I had a feeling...
When Chappy and I did it it was early March, I think, so there's time for a few ascents.
There are a few other unclimbed ice lines that should be doable for a day or two also with these conditions.

The web cams make the Valley look like an ice climbing paradise right now, but I can't imagine WT being anything but hair-raising ever. It's hard to believe it's been over thirty years since you and Chappy did it, Kevin.

I'm afraid to say it's over 35 years, JE!
Glad I got that out my system - what a fricken epic!
Somebody needs to put the effort into filming that route from three or four different positions at once. It's got amazing architecture.
