Posted: Sun, 01/10/2010 - 20:20

"Daggers" hasn't touched down, is wet. "Thing in between" is ghat, also wet. "Graineater" thin, bottom pitch still hasn't filled in, "Fox's" looks rough. Weedeater is in. Faily moderate temp in Finley today.

awesome dude! we ended up leading thing in between and TRing mule palace. it didn't look thick enough at all. glad you guys were able to send. maybe we'll try next week. i've been trying to climb graineater for two years now--i'm wondering if it'll ever come in again.

My partner greg and i were on weedeater today. we started up on the side of it, which was really thick. the start (maybe 15 more feet ) did look thin, but totally skippable. all the ice was amazing, really fantastic climbing in a great setting. we did the route in 3 pitches, short pitches.

Climbed Weedeater today. Definitely plenty of good thick ice on the route, didnt see any dripping water. This was my first time climbing it, so I dont know how it compares to "normal" conditions.

Thing in between: in, drippy, not as big as usual, but good.

Mule Palace: curtain is not in, but can definitely be led.

Daggers: probably wont touch down this season. super sketch.

Graineater: first pitch (foxes corner) was not in at all

Weedeater: the start looked super thin, but we saw some people on it? (who?, I dunno.)

overall nice day... mission falls is probably awesome right now by comparison.

ps: who were the the folks on weedeater? how was it?

Was last in the canyon on Monday the 25th of Jan.
Graineater was not to the ground, but it looked like you could get up it if you wanted to.
Weedeater was fine.
There was a pretty decent hunk of ice which I guess is Thing inbetween that was fine, if short.
And the Dagger? look fun but a serious challenge
