Who will be next? What will they say?

In this case, if the FA went clean the grading should be accepted but not taken as final.

That's what I meant. I usually treat 11d with more respect than 12a.

Today I climbed Dead Ents on Dead Ents Wall.

Nice 2 pitch rig up in Smuggs. My pack felt a bit big... ice was funky with a 10m snow covered rock slab to contend with and sketchy top outs. Loved every min of it :)

Smuggler's Notch? I climbed ice there in the winter of '71/'72.

Today, though, was another warm dry outing on rock.

yes it is Smugglers Notch. nothing much is really in but there were quite a few folks out there getting after it. some backing off ice climbs that were not (in) some scaping up them and then a few strong ones out after the mixed stuff

Smugglers' Notch was beautiful. I camped there for a few days and my hands got used to the cold and turned red instead of white. I was a year off in my previous post, though. It would have been the winter of '72/'73.

Last night Did All Mixed Up under the moonlight. Surreal setting on a beautiful night.

Great thread- one of the best of ST! All the ice climbing shots got me motivated. We had a great first day of the season here in GNP- less than one week back from the desert and the sun kissed warmth is already a distant memory.

There was a rumor that the lake is in.... so despite the balmy temps we meandered over there. Our destination 20 below Zero Gully looked much steeper and thinner than what I was up to leading my 2nd day out on ice this season. I looked all through my pack and could not find an Alden Pellet, Steve Mahoney or any other thin ice guru ropeguns so we broke trail over to the practice slabs. P1 was super spooky with thin ice and lots of funky layers. Big sheets of ice over powder snow that would break off leaveing nothing but snow covered rock. The belay was decent and P2 was super delecious naturally the 50ft from the top of the pillars to the trees was terrifying. Excelent butt slide back to the van :)
