Hidden Amphitheater, Lock Haven - 1/16/2010

From Cody Borigo:

We went climbing in the Lock Haven area on Saturday and wanted to give a quick report. Went out early Saturday morning with some apprehension as to what we would find with the warm temps the last couple days. Hidden Amphitheater, was in surprisingly good shape. The first two tiers were thick and solid. We climbed the far right side of the second tier early on, but by the afternoon the lower portions were starting to break off and a significant increase in water flow was apparent on that side. The third was definitely climbable on the left and right sides, but the center was pretty thin. That new pillar you mentioned on the fourth tier was still in and looked really solid. There was some minimal icefall throughout the day, but nothing serious. It's hard to say how well it held up after the rain on Sunday 1/17/10, but hopefully it was thick enough to survive.
