went and did palisade falls today, and it was really fun. it's kinda wet and thin in some places but overall it is in. got good screws in the whole way. have fun!

Geez, at negative some-odd farenheit, what can one reasonably expect to climb without some frost damage.

More accurately, what can one BELAY without some frost damage. A two and a half hour lead at these temps is appropriate punishment only for one's worst enemy!

Anyway, Palisades should be phattening up with these conditions, though I confess I haven't been near there yet, this year.
