[MCR] Rockies Silk tassel Nov 18th, 2011

Climbed Silk tassel today. Good climbing conditions in the morning but the cold is definitely sinking into the ice. Nasty spindrift slabs/wind slabs at the base fracturing easily up to 15m wide and 50-80 cm deep. Watch out for those things as the wind was blowing pretty hard out of the NE today in field. Bubble Wrap Blues is in but very thin. Super bock looks good but not much else is fat.

Cold!!!
