Hey Reily,
Is that actually at index? I know there are some rarely in ice routes on the upper wall...

I am sure the good times continue, but perhaps we were more spiritual BITD.
Not so spiritual that we didn't need to dodge raindrops, though.

Ryan,
It was actually a waterfall near Mt Index.
I remember that smear forming once or twice up to the right of the
Diamond was it?

I think one of those gullies near the diamond has frozen
The main water fall on the upper wall reportedly froze briefly (and thinly) this last year but I don't think anyone got at it.
MH2, cool "spiritual" picture of iron horse. I can't tell but it kind of looks like there aren't any fixed pins at that point? There are two right at the crux there these days (and remnants of some old broken ones). Most people these days seem to make a delicate high step up and left at that point.
