Quick report

Car temperature at Bow Falls viewpoint was -17 degrees at 7am. A mixed bag of brittle and wet ice on the way up. The final 3 rappels on the way down became extremely wet by the end of day resulting in frozen gloves, ropes and prussiks. Extra diligence was needed to maintain friction during the rappels with a fireman belay used as a backup.
