Climbed Spray River Falls yesterday. Quite cold up there all day with
suprisingly brittle ice once you top the pillar on the crux pitch. I
cleaned a bunch of ripe dinner plates off of the bulge. Ice was so
brittle and dry on top that I had to drill abalakov holes uphill or
they would choke with ice crystals falling back into them from the
tube of the screw.

Great day.
