Climbed Lacy Gibbet yesterday in the south ghost.  Beautiful climb in a 
beautiful setting. The climb is fully in and a trail is in for the approach.  2 
solid hours to get to the base of the first pitch.  Dry but good ice on all the 
pitches (despite its southern exposure), but the final Grade V pitch.  This one 
is wet with mushrooms, chandeliers and 13cm screws gave very little confidence. 
Bring some longer screws for this pitch. 6 V-threads in place to get you down 
with 2 60m ropes. 
Drive into South Ghost pretty mellow other than a few rutted areas that could 
be tricky with a low clearance vehicle.
