Any ice forming?

As for the red, it will be interesting to see if anything forms. This cold snap is good, but to build thick ice you need freeze/thaw cycles. Daytime temps in the 30s and cold overnight lows is likely the best.
Headgame, wow cutting edge burly tradass adventure wow... me likes headgames but being mostly a panty waisted sporto (thank you JESUS) my head games are of course lame....

Nope. But everything had a pretty good coat on it and it looked pretty cool.

Anyone in Lexingon have ice climbing gear? I might have something climbable by morning.

The ice cone at torrent is about ten feet and growing. A few other flowed are forming around as well, but nothing is climbable yet.

It's getting better. Parts will easily support a person now.

If the weather holds, it looks like Pawilkes and I will be summiting in the morning. Hmm, I wonder if homeowners insurance covers ice climbing accidents?
