Blue Cheese - ice

**Partner didn't have good boots to cross the creeks so we parked towards the dam and used the dam approach. Frozen snow walking in and still mostly supportive bootpack as we left early afternoon. A second party arriving midday said the level of the creek was getting deeper for crossing it. **I expected to find the climb a little wet but it was dry all day. Some dinner plating but generally in excellent condition. Good swings and good pro to be had. **A nice easy line up the middle or if you want steeper the left side and middlle of the right side were good. **Far right pillar made a nice stemming groove although pro in the right pillar would be poor. Its the only section with any sun rot. **Anchors. The slung log is well buried in ice as is the bolted rap anchor further back on the left. We had a screw anchor then rapped off the chain on the live tree, left side. Walking off left is also an option when you're done. **Climb gets morning sun but will stay in shape whilst a good overnight freeze happens or until a large water flow develops. Awesome to have it all dry today though.
