Weeping Wall Central Pillar - ice

<p>**Parties on Snivelling, Left, Central, and Right. **It takes a 70m rope to combine P1 + P2 with very little rope to spare. **P1 had fracturing bulges but generally ok with good pro. P2 is steeper with a little more sun effect. Ice sports a little more chandelier and featured ice but generally good pro. Getting into the cave has snice covered mushroom climbing. Very little good ice to protect without heavy clearing but the shower is heavy and discourages lingering. Put your hood up at least or a hardshell is nice. **Cave is roomy but has lots of chandeliered ice. I found decent ice on the right. It extends far behind the Central Pillar curtain, 10m+. **Its possible to climb the gap of the cave before committing to the face. The lower ice of the pillar was heavily chandeliered and featured meaning it took digging to get screws in good ice. My buddy lead it and figured it improved after a few metres but it was still challenging and definitely worked me over. The shower getting into the cave gives wet climbing on the pillar at times. Take care to watch your feet for breaking mushrooms and ice, while tool placements had some nice sticks between ice features. **Worth noting that while a 70m rope gets you into the cave, from the cave if you try making the top of the second pillar, you'll likely end up with a hanging stance. Find a sheltered belay before the last pillar and then a third 70m rope length should put you at the top. **Moving sideways across the ice you'll see a number of wet then dry lines. Gives you the option to find some tacky wet ice at times. **Beware that the nature of the ice above the pillar leads to copious amounts of ice falling. If you arent at a similar height to parties on the Left/Central lines, you may get hit. There is no way to avoid knocking ice off on the Pillar.</p>

Weather Report

<p>**Don't know how you enter a negative temp on the app but it was -12c at the car around 10am. **It felt warmer when the sun was out but that was only about 7/8ths of the day. Mostly seems not to have gotten much warmer for air temps. **Not much sign of snow transportation but the area has had a little new snow over the last few days.</p>
