Local ice conditions photos

Some of the ice in SWPA is still in decent shape! For today...

Laura and I spent a few hours today checking some of the local ice climbing areas.  Some were in bad shape and will surely fall down, while others...  well they look good for now and will hopefully survive the warm spell ahead of us.  Today temps at the different crags varied from 46 to 36°.  The forecast is calling for temps up into the mid 50's and possibly even 60° over the weekend with cooler weather coming after that.  Looks like dry tooling until then. Speaking of dry tooling, we did spy a few new lines that may receive some attention over the warm up.  Keep posted for details on that.  For now on to the current conditions
