Yeah I was pretty sure that even a 12mm static rope was not going to hold the weight of that much ice. When I was at the bottom looking at the aftermath, I felt verv vulnerable . Even at 18 inches across, this thing would have weighed tons. Then I thought about the folks climbing Everest and what they have to go through to climb that. All of a sudden, all of my climbing accomplishments seemed like nothing. Those people are the real deal.

The expedition was a bust. The best looking line was out a solar collector, but it was not touching down. There is so much possibility out there, unfortunately we need 2 or more weeks of cold for these lines to be "in". The waterfalls that flow a lot are still pumping water, and the slow drips need to fatten up and reach the ground....
And it is going to get warm this week:( Better luck to the 2011 KY Ice Expedition Team!
