Hey.
Went climbing in CL on Saturday and tryed to do a rock and ice day. Ice was awesome but the rock part didn't go so well. There is a ton of snow on everything and everywhere. Marty and I had the brilliant idea of trying Cheekbone. Not so wise. every ledge had at least 3 feet of snow, every face was dripping.The classic horn on pitch 2 had about 6 feet of snow on it with ice all around it.
So, I bailed and left a nut up and a sling on a chock-stone on the pigeon poop ledge.
If anyone gets there in the next week, you can keep it, you deserve it. If it's later I'd like to have the nut back. The sling should be thrown out because of the sun exposure it will receive in the next month and a half.
I really doubt that rock season will be early this year in CL... So much snowwwwwww!
