Comments

Climbed SoB and Rick Blak Route today. Both in great early-season conditions. Last pitch of Shades is wet and chandeliered down low. Rick Blak is as fat as it probably ever gets. Ice is well-formed.

No evidence of avalanches anywhere in the vicinity today. Snow treeline and below seems to be below threshold. Signs of windslab in the alpine though.
