To balance out those desert pics, here's some shots from my afternoon hike: from the end of my driveway you cross the road, enter the woods, and walk uphill for 20 minutes or so. Bonus points for going just before sunset and right after a Christmas day storm.

Its been cold for 3 days now so I went out to investigate. A lot of driveing, a bit of hikeing and a thousand feet or so of this stuff led me to the last 30m of much steeper brittle ice with a tricky mixed top outand a nice summit at sunset and a 3 mile hike back down to the hwy and my van

Yesterday I pull my 200+ lb. ass out of my car at Camp 4 and managed a couple ov VB's and the Robbin's Layback. Whew! Back on the map!
I then went over to the MSG boulder, but the 35 degree temps kept me from shoeing up and trying the traverse... That thing looks kick.
Maybe I'll eat another pizza today...

DMT, you should have heard me wimpering, whineing and crying about how steep it was;)
I was ok once I started actually climbing but there is something about steep ice that can make it seriously intimidateing.... Typically Ice can look impossible from a distance, not so bad from near the base of the climb where you often get a foreshortening effect where it does not look as steep or big as it did from the road but then when you actually get on it it gets wicked steep again..

got a few patches of ice today with temps in the low single digits the ice is finally came back after several weeks very warm temps before Christmas. Been skiing a lot and getting in a few days of ice climbing in here lately. spearfish creek surged big time while we up climbing at or second area of the day and we had to spend some time engineering a bridge to avoid getting soaked. Also got my first lead of the year in on some steeper community cave ice.
