At le...Was out at the Gun Club around 5pm tonight. At least a foot of snow on the ground and the Yough River now ice dammed up past 'Hixon Hole' and beyond - as far as you can see. Saw some earlier (today) Yeti tracks and possible mate - was hard to tell with fresh snowcover. Wall was formed as typical, but I would have been disappointed. No Water! Have seen this before, though. Excellent base now formed (lots of moisture in the air here on out) Need one good thaw to get the water flowing, then back to freeze thaw conditions (typical February) and back to 2003-2004. Have seen the exact opposite as well, however - did a ton of climbing prior to Christmas one year (similar conditions), was paddling all February in 40-50 degree temperatures and thaw. I'm hopin' for the prior for you guys. So for now, still 'eatin' hog' down in the Flatlands. As a side note, I'll bet Layton Falls looks pretty good about now. The main flow is a stream and within' the leading ability of anyone I know (3 - 3+). Some good thin 4+ stuff on the right wall as well, if any water flows down there anymore. I'm not drivin'/hikin' down to look, though.raymondburnsworth@zoomintnoreply@blogger.com
