Climbed CSM on Tuesday via Hidden Dragon.  Some wet ice on the first pitch but dry, featured and a bit brittle the rest of the way.  Short 10m pillar was the crux, solid 4+.  The Hooker looks good.  Nasty windcrusts in most gullies - kept us on our toes whenever the angle eased.  Road to the big hill is in great shape with most of it being snow covered and sanded on the hills.  Driving the rest of the way to the route was easy.  I really hope that we can always go and climb in the Ghost.....
