Randy Edelman and I enjoyed warm winter conditions today at Ricketts Glen. A "classic" PA Ice Climbing area! Other than open water on Ganoga Falls, most routes touched down and were in climbable condition. The warm sun did cause the routes to the left of the falls to bake out, and they became a challenge to protect.

Crossing the stream was a challenge. Setting up to climb.

Cradleboard was an easy lead. Randy led two seperate variations.

.

Dutch Eagle (L) and two separate pillars on War Bonnet (R) were touching down. Dutch Eagle was quite baked out in the sun, and screws would have been suspect. We opted to toprope.

Savage, War Bonnet and Cradleboard (L to R). Ganoga Falls was running strongly.
