    Any one seen some ice yet?

    I just got a new set of tools in the mail yesterday and I'm ready to swing them. Has any one spotted some ice yet?

    After pants were soiled, would it freeze before they could get down?

    That is amazing it was caught on film - The stories those climbers will tell.

    Kanab

    I met a fellow that showed me the same kind of Photo of the ice flow here in Kanab. He said he drove over here for the day to run a lap or two on this ice, then went around the corner for a few minutes. When he came back it was gone and had fallen to the ground, not an hour after he was climbing on it.
    Yikes!
    Heres a photo of the Pork U Pine flow here in Kanab.

    Haven't spotted any yet. But I"m anxiously awaiting. I didn't get out hardly at all last winter. Grrr


    Maybe it's time to start our seasonal ice conditions thread.

    After Jone'sing for some ice to climb I searched Utube and found live video of the ice collapsing. Check it out.


    I hope I did the linkage right.

    That's nuts. Especially that they caught a picture of it. I was climbing in Battle Creek one day and the whole south side of the main falls slid off. That was crazy. Not as big as this one but it still freaks you out.
