I also only got two climbs in.

Oh yeah... it took me 45 minutes to untangle my knotted wet rope while hanging off a bolt... did you notice how your rope was not tangled? You owe me a danish

Pat and I were in yesterday and the ice was plastic and very wet but still taking good screws(a little run out, maybe) on both sides of the ravine, although at one point I think I hit an artesian well about halfway up. There's a lot of running water behind some of the ice.
Also, while we were at the top of Blue Pillar, very large chunks were falling off the top from over across and to the left of Sunbaked Wall where the sun had got to it...scary big and noisy!
So I suspect this sort of thing will be the biggest concern for the next little while. Like Dylan said....
