Climbed Silk tassel today. Good climbing conditions in the morning but the cold 
is definitely sinking into the ice. Nasty spindrift slabs/wind slabs at the 
base fracturing easily up to 15m wide and 50-80 cm deep. Watch out for those 
things as the wind was blowing pretty hard out of the NE today in field. Bubble 
Wrap Blues is in but very thin. Super bock looks good but not much else is fat.

Cold!!!
