Climbing Conditions

Vail is coming along nicely with continued cold temps and plenty of water flowing. Spiral Staircase is growing fast and seeing lots of traffic. Slab Butt had almost no ice on it. Secret Probation had ice but is very thin. A look up the gully showed the Pencil had touched down. It does not appear if the Rigid Designator has been climbed yet. The Fang should touch soon if we don't see a cold snap. At 11am it was -7 Celsius at the parking lot.
