Bridal Veil Falls • in for sure, thin at the top (see photo).
Ingram Falls • the main pillar has not formed, BUT the climbers left is in and a fun WI4, 200'.
The Fang is not in yet.
Ames Ice Hose is in but thin on the first pitch, mixed on the second pitch (feet on rock, tools in narrow ice), and "fatter" on top.

    There is a need for every individual to have fun, to engage in recreational activities that way his life will not be too boring. Climbing is an activity which makes an individual feel challenged and focused. A sport that will make him realize that life is so precious once he is able to reach the summit.
