It's that time of year I guess... The creek is warming up and it's time for some fresh gobies. For those who've spent their fair share of long, cold nights in search for some splitter heaven, what are your go-to walls for when the mercury is hovering low?

We had a great time at "The Fin" and "Cat Wall" last weekend, even with winds whipping and snow clouds impending...




On the flip side of that coin, where do you head when hell breaks loose and you almost collapse on the approach?



Thanks for your civil contributions!

Anyone have experience with sun/ shade at "The Wall" or "Original Meat"?

Original Meat Wall gets good morning sun, but then you'll need to head around the corner to the Sacred Cow area in the afternoon to stay in full sunshine. Great combo though.

Broken Tooth gets good sun all day as well.

You won't be looking for shade anytime soon, but when it does get hot the Power Wall is pretty shady until late afternoon.

The Wall has great afternoon sun. Sun... Battle, Scarface, there's tons of options. Res and 4x4 are classic shade spots. Public Service is an OK shade wall too, till afternoon when you can zip over to the Fin. I liked Petrified Hornet, though its not stacked.

Shade: Sabbatical Wall in morning (until 14:00-15:00) is great.
Sun: Sparks Wall, warms up early.

Alexander,
We're gonna give the Original Meat/ Sacred Cow combo a try on Saturday. Thanks for the suggestion!

Timmamok,
Scarface on Sunday sounds like another good option.

Thanks!

Right on. Headed down there now. Maybe We'll run into you.
