went out today to see if anything survived the warm windy days we just had. almost everything in the soap lake to Blue lakes area completely fell down. we went up to do the bottom pitch of clockwork orange but the upper pitches were falling down, making it quite dangerous. Beer climbs are all gone, cable is mostly gone, salt & pepper was running bad and disinegrating, zenith is still whole though. punch bowl had no deathsicles but was very anemic. There's no ice at all on children of the sun anymore either. Guiness and kickapoo were there and were still solid from bottom to top (from the road at least).

just a guess. I'm headed north to brave the cold.
