While Seattle warmed up and everything got wet, Colorado Springs stayed cold and despite icicles and snow on many problems up at the Pass yesterday, the rock was dry and crisp underneath. I cleaned off all the ice that was over the top out of the Talledega Nights project and chalked it up. I plan on heading up to the Pass again tomorrow to either try Talledega Nights or the Horseshoe Stratler.

Icicles sticking to the lip of the Talledega Nights boulder. The line starts on the left side of the jug and moves up and right on stupidly small crimps using a large heel hook. While I have topped the problem out from a good incut below the lip at around V6 and Ben Snyder made it to this same hold from the start only to fall trying to top out in the rain, this problem has not seen a first ascent after three years of effort.
