 Ice Conditions Report
Ice Update - February 12, 2026
There sure is a lot of climbable ice pretty much everywhere. And for the most part it's plastic, or getting that way. Except where it's in direct sun for much of the day. A few classics like Machine and Snot Rocket simply haven't come in at all, but almost all the good stuff is there to be had and in pretty much consensus shape. I would say that this is the time to jump on it folks...
