i think its character building stuff

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!! Current ice conditions at San Jacinto are impeccable.
Alejandro Alpine - I tried to find you out on the North face of San Jacinto to climb the ice but you were no where to be found. Oh well. Next time. As for the interim, I have provided you an update below.

Interesting WI3- formation at 9k elevation.

Super sketchy mixed climbing near the summit with absolutely gorgeous ALPINE BLUE ICE!

Found this forming at the end of my day maybe one of you muscrats can check out this waterfall and report back?

Current pics, def no ice, just wet in The Trough, Angels, etc, the rest is totally climbable!

Current condition after snow today.

And here's today, ice was only in for 6hrs. Ya missed it!

Ha!!!

Sorry fellas, I was in lone pine getting some real mix climbing done at +13k.

Good thing the summit of lone pine peak is not 13k feet elevation. I call BS. Pics or it didn't happen. All if us here on this thread have been kind enough to share pics. 

Lonely...

Hurry quick!! The ice is back in at taco eats!!

To quits.

What about San Antonio Falls (Mt Baldy)? That thing ever freeze up in recent years?

I think the most consistent ice in the San Gabriels is Williamson Rock.  The giant chimney holds ice for quite awhile and has great mixed climbing.  Unfortunately Williamson is closed.

And, those bolts came in quite handy while climbing the Williamson ice...

Every one knows bolts are aid on an ice climb. So those bolts came on quite handy while aiding the Williamson ice
