Great stuff guys. Thanks for posting your experiences. Obviously the route is a real challenge in many ways. Hopefully we'll get another cold snap.

thanks Peter, it makes me feel better not grabbing my ice tools on Saturday night and returning Sunday morning (not that that was going to happen anyway...)
good on you guys going up there and getting to it! even if discretion turned out to be the choice

Quite the ephemeral piece of ice (sure looked promising and fat in the pic CF posted)- I hope you can get on it in climbable conditions someday.
Thanks for giving it a go and for posting your pics and story.

Think all you people could do it.
Two LEO valley rangers did it, and they just drive around and sit in cars all day.
You just stick those things in the ice and walk up .....

These guys drive around on shift all week and on their days off do Nose in a Day, Half Dome in a few hours.
Then back on shift looking like they never did anything .....

that's not entirely true werner,
sometimes those guys park their cars and hide behind trees in C4.

Off course they hide behind the trees to learn the secret climbing methods ....

Back to the front page. It is beyond me, but if it stays in condition it would be great to see a TR.
