Update on some South Lake Tahoe ice climbing, as of Dec 27 2013:
Lake Audrain looks out (did not hike all the way to the cliffs, but looks blank from across the lake)
Cascade falls is in, though the ramps are a bit snowy and there are a few open water spots. The routes to climber's left are not yet in, nor is the verglas on the right.
The north-facing routes in Eagle Creek canyon have not yet come in- Kentucky Moonshine is totally nonexistent. Probably needs more snowmelt to form.
Sunny Falls in Eagle Creek is partly in, with a few lines that are secure enough to climb. The approach is not yet well-defined or packed down- it took us 3 hours to dial the approach on the way in, with snowy boulder-hopping and delicately walking over the semi-frozen creek.
Anyone know of other Tahoe ice that's in? Donner area?

Cascade is in good shape ice wise save for being pretty picked out. It's been continuing to form new ice and there isn't any exposed water as of dec. 30.
Take a trekking pole for the hike in and out. You'll thank me.

Went up to Lee Vining today. It was really nice conditions. Anyone know what route this is? It's way up the canyon past all the other walls. Almost under the big green bridge.

Don;t know the name of it, but we climbed it, and the other one to the left and farther up the canyon about two years ago. When 120 was open, it was easy to park, and walk a short distance down to them. I take it you walked ALLLLL the WAAAAY up to it?

Nice! I knew it had been climbed cuz there was some janky webbing left there and its right onfront of your face when you hike up, but surprised its not well known. Yep hiked all the way up there for it. Pretty brutal but worth it. I'm thinking of riding my bike up the 120 and walking down again if its still good up there.

Went back to Cascade falls over the weekend, to find good ice and more coming in. Chatter is that Coldstream is also in, and the Voodoo Lounge near Fallen Leaf Lake may also be in- anyone have any news to share? Anyone been to eagle creek canyon recently?

Anybody heard of people climbing on Rancheria Falls at Huntington Lake? I was hiking there last weekend and the ice looked fat in all places except for the very top. Will have to check it out next weekend with my ice tools.

Coldstream has been good for weeks, with a super casual approach of around an hour easy hike. Take some sort of ice grippers or instep crampons for your boots, its really slick on the approach.
The road to voodoo was closed in mid December but it could be open again given the warm temps. i haven't checked there or eagle canyon primarily on account of warm sun and mountain biking.

Here are a couple of pics from Coldstream on Sunday, surprisingly completely dry and chilly there considering the 55 degrees in town. Note: next weekend is the AAC trip so I would stay away...

I don't see any posts on the condition of the ice in LVC in the last couple weeks. Can somebody with recent information put up a quick post? Thanks.
