Overlook Mountain Ice

Dan and I went up to Overlook sat. and climbed Poisiden.  The approach was great taking less than 2 hours and the bottom part of the route was in good condition.  The pillar was painfully close to being in, but with half of the hollow tube laying at the base it was questionable as to if it would support body weight.  Not really pysched on it we soloed the pitch immediately to the left which had good ice and turf.  I think this is the "unclimbed" pitch JoJo refers to in Winter Dance, however we found a sling on the top.  We continued up this drainiage for another 200+ vertical feet in hopes of another pitch the it ended in a big rock ampitheater.  A pretty fun day.

It looks like G-Spot was good(We only saw the top teir) and I would guess Disco Party is probably climbable as well.  Monkey Ass Wall was not in however.  It looked like Once in a Blue Moon was actually in pretty good condition and might be worth a closer look.
