Heh heh... Nice topic. Assuming the impossible - a freakishly extended sub-zero freeze after multiple downpours - four words come to mind for ice climbing:

Heat. Seeking. Moisture. Missile.

yeah, good call on both counts.


wonder how it looked this morning. I understand Salinas had a freeze warning today.  High 20s or something.


We need pretty cold though, for a couple days.

that would be a cool Halloween trick!

have a bunch of dry ice set up on the cliffs flowing down, the cliffs all decked out spooky stylee, and have kids (or adults) trick or treat various climbs an when they top out they get candy.

well, least that's what I would want for Halloween.

It was 22 at my house in K.C. this morning.  I experienced 9 on the West Side one February evening twenty years ago, or so.  Patches of snow lay in all the shaded areas so the hills had a strange leprotic look.
