George Matthews reports: A friend and I went out to Angel Falls today not expecting too much. We were pleasantly surprised to find the falls in pretty good shape. There were quite a few sections of thin ice over running water and even a few holes in the main falls, but in general the ice is coming along nicely. We had a great time soloing the first two thirds of the falls -- everything except the thin and steep top section.
As usual, another week of cold temps is all this area needs for good climbing conditions. The afternoon sun was taking its toll on a steep set of columns and drips further downstream on the right side of the lower falls and the lower falls themselves have quite a long way to go. Let's hope for continued cold. Thanks for the report George!
