I climbed the lower Weeping Wall yesterday with friend Josh. We climbed the
Right Hand Side and were on the bench below the upper wall before the sun came
around to soften the climb. Like Mike's previous post about Murchison Falls, we
experienced brittle ice and dinner plates, which required careful testing. On
P2 we climbed the traditional corner line. Above the ramp, the corner was
unconsolidated dry chandelier. It was fairly beat out, providing good hooks but
poor protection.
Most of the lower Weeping Wall has new seeps creating fresh wet chandelier over
the existing ice. We hiked up to the upper and found the choice lines there to
be the same.
