Quick Observation
Went out to climb Field of Dreams today. Opted not to climb due to conditions.Sun packed a punch today. Warmed up to -3, and felt warmer from the solar input. Ice looked chandelier like, very wet, and hollow on the right, it did not look promising. The left side looked like WI3+ easy steps, but had a suspect dagger above and with all the chunks coming down, we opted to bail. The pillars was starting to significantly delaminate in spots. **On the descent a refrigerator size chunk came off 10 metres behind me where I had just walked under, which reinforced our decision to bail. The now bare spot circled in red was where the pillar fell from.** River crossing is still in.
