Didn't look like it from the reservoir. |

In case anyone is wondering, nothing in the Bridal Veil area is safe to lead. Everything was gushing like a fire hose too. Also checked out the ice further east in Provo. Parts of Millers Thriller and the first pitch of The Fang are in, but just as juicy as the rest of Provo Canyon. If it freezes at night you might be able to get some laps in. Bring the Gore-Tex! It felt a little colder this morning than the Provo Canyon weather station showed. |

That picture of the Stairway show some good improvement from Yesterday. Looks good |
|
Garret and I climbed the full first pitch of Stairway. Needs some buildup. 2nd pitch and higher is just icicles and very thin smears at the moment. |

Soloed first 2 pitches of GWI and bailed yesterday afternoon. It's wet and plastic with lots of flowing water underneath on P2, which surprised me given the temperatures this past week. |

I'm guessing that's the second pitch of the fang where the death-tube should be? Avy forecast is high right now though. Psychobabble Gully also has some ice in it. |
|
Provo climbed well yesterday 12/7. 5 or 6 separate lines on the 1st pitch of stairway are fat enough to lead with good gear. The rest is progressing nicely ice forming up well through p5. |
|
Lots of parties out in Provo Canyon today. Climbed White Nightmare and Bridal Veil Right. White Nightmare has a downpour coming off the right and left sides of the curtain. Bring your Gore-Tex. Standard terrifying snow/ice/rock/slush top-out to both of those. |

found a screw on the last pitch of the gwi today. mesage me with a description so I can get it back to its owner! p.s. love the thread, keep it up! |
|
Climbed Provo Canyon today. Apron is looking great, second pitch of Stairway is still trying. Bridal Veil area is still looking great and forming actively. |
|
Went down to Santaquin today. Angel of Fear is not in. ACT is thin and not touching on the second pitch. Candlestick is touching and down, but in full on WI6 conditions. |
