little ice, just watch yourselves if your on bikes when you get to the fork
in the road, it is quite icy for 30m or so. As for the trail, it would make
for nice mt biking. On the climb: Expect the first pitch to be very wet.
The main flow was spraying off the top and covered the whole pitch. We
climbed the center on generally good ice. One good thing is that water flow
has yet to really affect the climbs integrity. Running water is on the
surface only and colder overnight temps might reduce the shower effect or
eliminate it by morning. But be prepared for it, with sacrificial gloves and
waterproofs or your climb might end sooner than expected, we took our GTX
clothing off and continued dry above the second pitch.
