Climbing Conditions

Went for an early morning training session at Vail. 47f when I parked at 7am and 51f when I left at 11am. The Rigid Designator has really suffered from the warmth and has large sections of very hollow ice with the interior tube being about 2 meters in diameter. Use caution. Seventh Tentacle and the Little Fang climbing well and still attracted nicely. Spiral Staircase was a dripping mess!
