Tahquitz Rock-The Fabulous Winter of 2010

As late as March 12, 2010, the North side of Tahquitz Rock was plastered with snow and ice. There has not been this much ice on Tahquitz in about a decade. In the last few weeks, several parties took advantage of the fabulous conditions and climbed various routes on the North Face. How is that for ice climbing in Southern California?
