Location: CO : CO Ice & Mixed : Hoosier Pass/Lincoln Fall

Comments: Was out yesterday and the conditions were great! The sun shone and the ice was nice and sticky. The center icefall is still plenty thick. The pillar on the right is getting thin but still doable as a lead.

Comments: Joseph and I really enjoyed this one on the 21st of November. It was a bit too cold and cloudy to be a classic Flatirons experience but a great line like this is a pleasure none the less.

Location: CO : Boulder : Boulder Canyon : The Bihedral Area : The Riviera : Splash (5.7)

Comments: This is a nice little warm up route on the right side of Industrial Buttress. Great pro in the back of the dihedral and good large cracks above. There's a fixed cam about two thirds of the way up that looks okay, but it's easy to back up too. There aren't many cracks for an anchor up top, so look for some big boulders to sling.
