Dry tooling on both sides of Moffat is in :-D The ice is not worth going for yet IMO. Looks like the pillar might've been in thin but it fell. I hope it was the warm weather that tore it down and not some yayhoo. Sorry, no pics.

Annnnnnd back to your regularly scheduled heep of worthless posts....go ;)

I climbed at the Jewel Lake Overflow yesterday. It was in, but a bit thin in places.

The Phantom in North Cheyenne Canyon is in. It will get fatter this week thanks to the dump of snow we just got an the freeze-thaw cycle we're about to get hit with.
