ColinB Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Not sure if anyone will actually get up there and enjoy the excellent mixed climbing on Illumination Rock but it's in fantastic condition right now. I was up there in early December and it hasn't iced up too much since then. As of yesterday, there are good sticks in the snice and good gear (mostly cams) in the cracks. The cracks aren't filled with much snow or ice, so gear is pretty straight forward. We climbed the first pitch of one of pdk's climbs (to climbers' left of the left-most skylight) and tried to shoot straight up to the summit from there. Some glassy offwidth climbing shut me down about 30 m from the summit block. Hope some of you folks take advantage of the conditions soon!
