Currently pretty casual in the Southfork right now in regards to snow. Ice is in all-time conditions.

Historically the Southfork doesn't see as much snow as the surrounding ranges. The volcanic tuffs that compose the bulk of the "rock" in the Southfork are very porous and act as an intermittent aquifer. We had a ton of early September snow that recharged the system during Oct-Nov melting. The result is a ton of ice now and a lot of new lines that have not formed in recorded memory.

winter hikeing yesterday. Managed to pass one party twice. once on my way up as they were rapelling and again on the hike out in the dark :) It was ice fest but I avoided most of the crowds by starting @ 220pm my van is parked at the base of that ski area in the distance.. its a long way down from here with several rapells and a bunch of down climbing...

Too sunny and warm for the east side of the lake today (western exposure) so we visited the ice fisherman and had a wonderfull day in the afternoon shade on an obscure climb we had never done.

It was a pretty warm day here in southern California, albeit a bit windy in the desert. Urizen and I had a fun day exploring some new-to-us crags at New Jack. A beautiful day out.
