- Weeping Wall, Central Pillar
- Ice Quality
- good
A variety of wet and dry lines to be found along the entire Lower Weeping Wall. We climbed the Central Pillar, and encountered chandeliered ice on the first steep step. On the crux pillar, the ice to the left of the middle cave is heavily sun-affected and very difficult to protect; the ice to the right sports drier ice, steeper climbing, and some sporty cauliflower features. The snowpack above the lower wall is still shallow, faceted, and aside from the potential for small solar-triggered sluffs, of limited concern.
