| Since of course there is no ice season, I guess that there is no rush to get this out "on time..." But here itis! [LOL] So we have been on the weather roller coaster for over a week. But finally things have calmed down a bit. That said we really need rain. You won't find me complaining about an inch or two here & there, so by all means bring it on. I was talking to friends that live in the Denver area and they are in som deep doo-doo out there. No snow means no water, PLUS high fire danger. [YIKES] |

Route of the Moment
Thin Air -
5.6
Inarguably the most popular climb on Cathedral Ledge and perhaps in the Valley. Plan on getting an early start if you don't want to be in line in the summer. In 2003 the bolts long protecting the traverse were chopped, so be prepared to place gear all the way across. In addition the 3-bolt anchor on top of the 3rd pitch was also chopped so once past the end of the traverse ledge you are committed to finish unless you are prepared to abandon gear! |

BEWARE! That ice above the North End is just waiting to come down.
