For any Tahoe climbers- Cascade Falls looks to vein (saw a party of 4 headed in from
Te parking lot yesterday, and it looks good from the road), and Kentucky Moonshine and Sunny Falls are thin but in. Spent a fun day toproping Kentucky Moonshine yesterday; the ice is thin enough that it will take 16mm screws only occasionally, so you may want to TR. Sunny Falls looked good from across the canyon, and looked like it had a boot pack.

Eagle lake is frozen but not snow-covered (good ice skating!), but the approach is a pain after Eagle Lake- lots of rock-hopping on snow-covered talus until we get more snow.

January 3 and 4, 2015. The ice is okay, but it's been much better. There isn't a lot of room for climbers.


The June Lake Roadside climb was very narrow.

Adikted- nice shot; care to share where you were? I don't recognize the flow, but it looks tasty! Let me know if you want to climb together sometime.

Stewart Johnson- anywhere I can find beta on the Voodoo Lohnge? I heard about it years back and know the general location, but haven't trekked in to check it out without knowing details of where and how. Google searches are fruitless...

Currently in the ice fest in Ouray- more ice here than I've seen in all of California... And more Californian ice climbers here than I've ever met in California!

The water level at ellery lake must
be down this season,
Directly related to seepages in
Lee Vining Canyon.
Less water = less ice.
Not related to a leaky penstock!
