I did a quick tour of the Valley today, checking out the effects of these super cold temps. Lots of ice everywhere, and it looked like the 1st pitch of Widow's had reformed some.

A big frazil ice flow plugged up the main channel of the Merced between Happy Isles and Clarks bridge.


Bridalveil Fall is in it's crazy ice-monster phase.


There were chunks of ice falling from the top of El Cap, and the Merced River at the west end of the meadow was frozen all the way across.

There's a party of three on Windows Tears today. They were a little less than halfway up at around noon. I shot a timelapse of the leader on what I guess was the 3rd or 4th pitch. Here's a photo of my viewfinder:
