On wednsday Thadeus and I went looking for narcolepsy. It was a little too wet so we climbed something 100 feet to the left. I think it's called lurking smear. Comparable to black magic the crux was a 60 foot 5.10+ rock section at the bottom on good conglomerate with tricky stopper placements. Once past the lower rock the ice on the uppper half was exciting, thin and well bonded. A short second pitch of moderate ice leads to the top of the cliff and a rappel tree. On thursday Kyler and I returned and climbed an aesthetic iced up chimney on the same cliff band. Aside from all that some of the flanders standards looked quite thick and enticing.
