Hello
 
Climbed the bottom pitches of Polar Circus on Wednesday with Geoff Ruttan.  We bailed just before the pencil as the ice was melting quickly from the high temperatures (+6).  The lower steps were gone when we walked down around 11AM.  Moved over to Shades of Beauty which was in pretty good shape (best thing I've seen this year so far..).  Solid screws on every pitch.  Rick Blak Memorial route looks to be in good shape as well. 
 
Seems like a very slow start for the "regulars".... have faith....
 
Cheers
