thanks dougpaul - yep, i checked them this morning and indeed there's some snow. going to bag the ice idea in tucks (even though there seems to be some, but doubt it's climbable) and do a snow climb in huntingtons. yale and diagonal look good from a distance. and i'm bringing rock pro also. they should move the camera over so you can see all of tucks. wtf.

The unfortunate drunks figured that if they pee some more on the...
