Does anyone know if the ice is in fully at Steven's Falls at Gov Dodge?

This is a fourm that has a bunch of locals on it.

I heard there a little bit there. But just from word of mouth.

That forum also hasn't been updated in a month.

I was at gdodge two weeks ago and put some pics up in this thread. I'd imagine the walls are probably climbable now. I'm planning on heading out there this weekend to climb.

You can ask on that fourm to see if anyone knows what ice conditions are? Not everyone post conditions after climbing or checking it out.

Ice is thin and grim at the falls. The falls themselves are frozen and there are two thin lines to the right, not leadable.

I went to check out conditions today. Stephen's falls is frozen, but not really worth climbing. Nothing on the right is in, there is a start on the far right end, but very thin. I then headed to Cox Hollow (with my one year old in a back pack)and the ice was in. However, the left looked really soft with lots of water running underneath and the right side was pretty short(normal?). If you want a 12 - 15 foot one line thrill, you can get it. Wish I had better news to report.

I was at Gov. Dodge Feb. 18th, the day after the heat wave, and the ice at Stevens Falls was completely gone. At Cox Hollow ("Harms Falls") the ice was still climbable on the right side but the left side was totally gone. Just gushing water. Has anyone been there since? How about Lone Rock, did it survive? Any news would be great, thanks!
