Cleo's is not evan close unless you like alot of dry tooling

 

Twin falls is both in.  A bit slushy but very doable.  We did both sides, wet and thin so rack you shorty screws.

The coliflowers are a bit soft for any gear so just run it past and there is ok screw placements.

Did Twin Right today. I wouldn't say it's slushy at all. Beautiful conditions. You need short screws and careful where you put them but I sunk 10 bomber screws on it. Left side looks tougher. More open water and generally less consistent.

Cleo's is in it's usual state this time of year. Come and go with the sun. It'll be awesome by Thanksgiving or so. Met a dude in the parking lot that did Genesis II. He said it was thin, no chance of gear but good sticks. Halloween (tomorrow) is the 40th Anniversary of the First Ascent of G2.

It looks like Over Easy might be climbable. If not now, soon. Lots of other routes (most in fact) have ice on them but are still a bit away from being worth a look.

A great day in Hyalite!

 

The right side is a tad more difficult than the left, as of Saturday the 29th ,the sticks are solid.  The ice was deffantly a bit plastic with a bit of surface slush.  We started right of the open cutain and then move out on to the center of the flow and it was pretty good climbing.  The middle to top had good solid screw placements.

 

its good to hear that just a day later and the slush cleared up.

 

Ill be back up there this next wekend most likely.
