Nice going!
As the winter approaches, I realize I will miss the NE ice badly. Where are the icy stomping grounds near(ish) Seattle?

Good, but not the best. Not enough variety and, by the way, it's cooooold!

How the hell do you think the water turns to ice?

Gee....you're pretty smart, I'll have to remember that quaint little relationship between water and temperature. My point is that temperatures in the NE feel (to me) to be on the order of 20 degrees colder than in the West- humidity, cloudy skies, wind etc.

That's why we're so much tougher here. :)

I'll be the last person to debate that point.

We had an early tease in late Otober. The Dike on cannon went as well as a b unch of stuff up on Mt washington. Then we had a warm spell. Rock climbed yesterday and there was ice in the shade so i assume stuff up high on Washington is in again.
BTW one of the 2 pins in the great corner fell out a week or so ago. do not know if randy has had a chance to replace it yet?

600 feet of ice still looking pretty fat on May 25th. Anything left out east? Probably saw about 15 flows still looking good this weekend.

Trad I think there are two cracks in it, but doesn't look like it is going to fall off soon. Major water shooting out the side. Getting up there may be the major problem though. I did see quite a few flows that looked in good shape though.

This flow in the West fork of Rock Creek looked to still be in good shape. Wishing I had brought the tools instead of just the boards. Definitely could have done some climbing.
