And that emoticon comes from a site with "wench" in it's URL! :D

"Serving wench" perhaps? :wink:

More seriously. I will be lucky to get any decent ice conditions in North Wales before late December. :cry:

North face of Pikes looks to be in great shape. I ran out of time and had to bail from low on the Y-couloir before I really had a chance to check out the climbs on the Corinthian Column but I expect that there is good ice there.

Huh my girlfriend must have missed that on her drive to work this morning. Guess I'm taking the tools for a walk tomorrow morning.

The ice in Ten Mile Canyon, specifically Three Tiers is starting to come in, but could be easily knocked down. Hopefully it'll be better by the end of next week.
Anyone free next week? I'm off Mon-Thurs. I have no plans yet, but some stomping around up high trying to put something together sounds mint.
