Old Dogs Area Ice Climbing

Climbed SteriStrip and Old Dogs New Picks this afternoon. SteriStrip is fat and can be climbed on all screws (stubbies not necessary). Both lines are wet/dripping but it is possible to keep your ropes fairly dry. Temperatures were -2 at 11:00AM and +1 at 5:00PM. Sky was overcast most of the day with the occasional broken period. No precipitation through the day, light westerly winds, no blowing snow observed off the ridge tops. There was a approximately 10-15 of snow on the ground (fan of avi path 35.8).
