Did the first 2 pitches of Guinness gully today. Temps were -13, -14. Ice was
great. Lots of low density snow and facets in the gully and on side walls. I
would use caution in this area if the weather warms up and heavier snow falls.
I made a mistake on my last MCR re: Gibraltar wall. "I was soft and plasticky"
I was but the Ice was as well.
Cheers, have fun out there.
