I went back down to Pohono Bridge at 4 o'clock, and the party of 3 on Widows (Rangers, apparently) were just starting what I assume is the last pitch:

Definitely not rangers. That was Kevin Daniels, Kurt Wedberg, and I. We left the cord but kept a couple of screws we found- missed the draws somehow. Got back to Bishop at around 3 am this morning- 24 hrs after we woke up in the Valley (long drive for us this time of year). Lots of pics between us and would love to see that time lapse when it's ready Steve. Great route! Be safe, chose well, maybe bring a wetsuit.

I've met Doug. Nice guy. Some of his smash and grab trips, i.e. weekend trips from NM to Alaska, are crazy. glad he was able to get it done.

So how is the climb doing? Did it fall of partially due to the high temps or is it surviving?

Loads of stuff fell off today. Rain and higher temps. Noisy everywhere you go.

Vitaliy, silverstrand wasnt looking to good on my way back from work, i only looked at the top half of route, the left 1/3 had fallen off, and i was surprised that it was there at all considering how warm it has been last few days

Thank you guys. haha I heard it was real warm and raining at 8000ft yesterday! Forecast shows good cooling ahead, but by than there might not be any of it left I guess. At least now I have a partner! Can't believe I couldn't get anyone to go with me last Wednesday. I mean damn, it's Widows Tears! Say hell with work and go..especially when there were others climbing the route and conditions were obviously better than usual. :/

Would be very interesting to see how Widows Tears and Silver strand look after the recent warming trend. Watching it all fall off would be quite a scene.

It's so warm right now. Last week during the cold snap some climbs went down. Paging Vitaliy

We are in a classic January Thaw right now.
I wouldn't worry about ice anytime soon.
