It appears Tim Anderson and friends have got the first sticks of the season in SW PA. Please check out their trip reports and photos at http://climbpa.blogspot.com/. Some bold mixed stuff and some nice thin pillars were climbed at Meadow Run at Ohiopyle State Park. Also of interest is how well the the ice is coming in at the Secret Cliffs II. That is a lot of ice for this early in the season.

Central PA needs reconed this weekend to see where we stand. Weather forcast is a dismal 40 degrees and rain changing to snow for Saturday into Sunday, but the temps are supposed to drop into the teens by Monday.
