Bump.
Went on a slushy/crusty outing a few weeks ago and caught some not so graceful skinning. I'm not gonna name names...
...but check the filenames of the photos for his initials.

Re: Ice and snow pics
Correct, it's just up canyon from the Wave Wall.
The climber in orange, is my brother Jonathan. These falls were my first steep ice leads (1977). Near the top of the pillar, I took a 15' plunge when my humming bird ice tool popped out...my first (but not the last!) fall on ice. These ice falls were formed by a leak in the canal above. The following year, the leak got plugged. As you can see in one of the other photos, I'm climbing with a Hummingbird and a Roosterhead, with the latter being the first locally available drooped pick tools.

I'll bite as the resident spragger.
Here's one from today where this line was so good I had to go back up and 8 my own turns.

Re: Ice and snow pics
Lots of spray on my phone this year, good thing I'm less than motivated to do work right now...
Early season mole-hilling
Crappy White Pine views as usual
Year of the cornices?
Early morning slogs
Shark hunting on ridges
Exploring chutes
Happy to have brought the dental floss
Scenic choss
More scenic choss
New Year's Day trench digging, happy 2017!
West Couloir of Mt Sickmore
Here kitty kitty
Kitty's den is guarded by The Brush
Three hours of paying our dues and no pics of the Crow's Foot. Oh well...
Frosty Millcreek morning
Land of the old geezers skis pretty well
Views are unremarkable
Gobbs never disappoints
The Great Hoar
Failing to enter In Between
Hadn't seen snow up here in a while
Almost City Creek conglomerate choss...
New skittle outfit
The one that got away - but not for long
West Desert novelties and how to improperly negotiate snowy dirt roads. Always have a full size shovel...
The Sky Pilot, or why we slog
Mother of all spines
Done and out. Bye Nevada...
Trenching again in PNW conditions, what's this rain thing??
Birthday trenching
The winding path
Leads to windy ridges and yet another system dropping the goods
More rope work for this one
Clear to the North, snowpocalypse to the South
Return of the low elevation slog, HDR more activated
More trenches, never gets old
Oops, more weather coming in
Grandview didn't get away this time but it never showed its face. Vertigo inducing launching pad for 1800' of goods
