Ty, Patrick, and myself went up to check out conditions on Baden Powell. I knew there would be a little ice to play on, but since the weather has been bad I wasn't expecting much. Otherwise I would've invited more folks. We got enough to have a great time.
My girlfriend's car was stolen from right behind my house in broad daylight while I was in the mountains, so I'm pretty bummed right now. Mind the brevity in this TR.

Ty on the 2nd step. We protected it, because half of the step broke and fell off. The rock underneath is really nice, in that there are no cracks or anything, just slab.

Big falls, close up. Click the route page link and you'll see what the falls look like from afar.

Old buttonhead next to the first ice step. Odd placement.
