That is one of the coolest submissions I have seen on the site for a while. Great pics too.

Nice Aaron! Looks so bitchen. Hopefully it gets cold again soon. With all the melting going on this week a cold snap could make it real fat!

Let's hope Captain, lets hope

I was pleasantly surprised today to find that the NE face is still in (and mostly in WI condition!). We did NE face W (or E?). The Trough is probably in, too.

Rest

Cool!

I'm no ice climber, but that looks like fun.

It's great that you guy's are taking advantage of such ephemeral conditions. I bet that makes it seem kinda like a special treat

That's an excellent idea! Thanks! I know what I'm doing next November...

Had no idea that there was that much ice up there. Great photos

As of today, March 13, the North Face, the Larks and the Through, are all STILL in a very good condition. We climbed The NE Face yesterday, finished via the headwall and had a marvelous time. If you can get off work this week, go climb it. The snow and ice will not last for ever. It has been at least 10 years since Tahquitz iced up this good. Go and do it!

Good luck all......temps are coming up all this week.

Still looked good this morning. There is a lot of snow and ice covering the NF. Temps are up today, but if anyone shows up in the next two-three days, there is still a distinct snow and ice line to be climbed on the face.

This is what the headwall looked like Friday.

Miguel Carmona and Joe Lemay plus another party from LA climbed the route Saturday. I was hiking up there this morning and it still looks ok. It might look a bit different by later this week, for sure.

Just found out (3-15-14:20 PT) that Larry Cote and a friend climbed the route yesterday, Sunday. Larry said the face looked great and the headwall was still in good shape.
