Southern Utah Update
Climbed Mush for Brains (off I-15, south of Cedar City) on Tuesday night Jan. 4. It had a steady stream of water cutting through the middle of it and the top was too wet, but was otherwise as TR-able as it gets! Not sure if it is still in, but I would imagine it will be at least partially there as the temps stay low.
Climbed Camp Creek in Kanaraville yesterday Jan. 8. The ice is in pretty fat, although there is still a steady stream that is keeping the right side pretty hollow. The left side is great.
The highlight of the day was climbing a new pillar that may be touching down for the first time. Has not been climbed that we know of. We only dared to climb it on TR, so if there is someone out with a lot of cojones, you could get the FA- located just south of Camp Creek above the most southern cul-de-sac. We named it the Chekshani Pillar. Excellent ice, really steep and super fun! Probably the best ice in Southern Utah right now.

Camp Creek - As you can see the ice is pretty hollow on the right side.

Chekshani Pillar - take a good look, might not be back for years to come...

The hike up to the top was pretty gnarly but well worth it
