If someone local can take a few pictures of the falls on Wednesday or Thursday it would be awesome. Seems like a warming trend going on, wonder if it survives.

Lotta lines appear to be in all over the place. Supposedly a lotta rockfall above Huff/Curry Village today... coulda been ice, everyone here assumes it's rock. Anywho.

After Jason did the tears he went over to Quarter Domes with Eric Rasmusan and one other guy past half dome and skied down from Quarter Dome to Tenya Canyon.
New Ice Climb on Quarter Dome? Anyone up for it?

Yeah it did, Dan
Jason was here about 2 hours ago and told me it fell off.
We think it was that night before this last cold storm when it got really warm.
3 nights ago maybe?
It's a full on blizzard here right now .....

what a f*#king bitch, had to fall off the day before we attempt the thing. It should be doable real soon though, doable 70% now and probably totally doable for someone with much more skills and stupidity. I bet by Sunday it would be good...oh well
Beautiful place that cirque. Upper pitches look fantastic and very solid.

Quater Dome first ski descent I don't think your line off the top of Mammoth sees much action either.

Rick Harlan and Kim Dao are who did the Tears yesterday. Said it was great with the cold temps, and it should hang in there as long as the temps stay cold.
Way to go guys - I'm jealous!!
