Jordan and I took a nice overnight trip to Joe's this past weekend. It was a great trip. We met some cool folks and had some great climbs. Before I get too far I'll mention conditions on the following routes (also posted on the conditions page).
CCC: In but rotten ice on the bottom and very little throughout. No really stellar spots for good pro.
Donorcicle: In and huge. Fantastic conditions (see pics below)
Wolfenstein/Melty Way: Nada
Highway to Heaven/Deadbolt: In and it looks great
Ampitheater: Not much there.
Spear of Fear: Nothing that I could see there
Pricecicle/Dirtcicle: In and looking really good
On with the TR. We had a great midnight climb up the first pitch of CCC.

Looking out from "the cave". The area behind the donorcicle is a great area to play around in.

It was a great trip. I love Joe's so it was just fantastic to get back down there to see the beauty of the surrounding area and climb some great ice. :2thumbs:
