Get on it....you can’t let this rare occurrence pass. Chappy and Kevin showed that there is more to Yosemite than granite and over priced pizza.

here's WT from 10 days ago for some stoke purposes. the deep snow was real deal. i can't imagine how deep it is now. best option would be to ski to the base and rap the route. however there wasn't enough good ice to rap when we did it...
And unfortunately, as of yesterday, SS and WT were both fully collapsed. Temps are lookin good tho!

Good job Shylock! Looked liked pretty icey dicey conditions. I cant help but get a little stoked every winter when it comes into condition. It was just such an adventure for Kev and I BITD. Six times on the approach before we squeaked out our ascent under very dicey conditions. I did it again in 78...another very snowy winter...with Ed Barry. Perfect mega ice the second time around. I do remember groveling up to my armpits on the approach!

The Tears are still Fat despite the warm temps. This shot from an hour ago, two climbers making fast progress as the walls on either side are shedding ice at a fast rate
