Last days of the Weeping Wall

Another awesome day on the ice, as Mike and I headed out for our first climb together. The Weeping Wall beckoned, and as it was forecast to be a cold, cloudy day, we figured it was safe to climb. From the parking lot, the ice looked sunbaked over most of the wall, but we found a bluish line up the middle-left side. Quick walk later and we were climbing!

As it turned out, the sun was out in full force and even as we were climbing in the shade, quite a few icicles came down beside us! We made it off the south-west facing wall of ice before the sun hit and after a rather lengthy rope-tangled and wet rappel later, we were back at the truck and headed home.

All in all, another great day out!

Not many photos this time around, I guess. Short but good day out!
