Spearhead conditions

Anyone been up there? Not too concerned about the trails more so if there is snow on the face?

Barb is dry. (My partner and I somehow lost a .75 on the route, be interested to know what happened to it).

NE ridge is dry.

Sykes Sickle is pretty much as dry as usual, there is some seepage on the 1st or 2nd pitch (depending on how you climb it). There is seepage on the crux pitch approaching the roof, but it isn't in any critical cracks or footholds, and in my experience this part is always a little wet but climbable.

The wall looked wetter to the left of Sykes, but we didn't climb any of those routes.

Postholing up to your thigh on the trail in the afternoon made for a long day.

@Applehans-climbed the barb on 6/30/13. No .75 on the route. However there is a .5 welded right after the crux, shortly after the pin.

Ryan, yeah that cam is long gone which is fine. We lost it somehow and the circle continuous.

I'm annoyed at providing competent beta to snicho with not a word of whether they even climbed anything or a thank you. Next time I won't waste my time loading pictures and beta for a one way conversation.

david, i greatly appreciate the response. haven't made it out to the spearhead yet, but plan to in a couple weeks. although the sass is not appreciated, the info was.

Ahhh snap. 20 days later the Snicho/Applehans rivalry begins lol.

I don't think Apple's comment was rude at all. Took you 20 days to say the info is appreciated. Still not even a thanks. Some people are out there getting shit done, even in non-optimal conditions, and bringing bomber beta right to your couch, pics and all.

A semi-timely thanks is all he's asking for..... I think.
