Wayne Barnard and I traveled to Ricketts Glen in search of ice.  Conditions were marginal in the Ganoga Falls amphitheater, but we got our fix. We ended up on the Cradleboard route on the right end of the right wall, as all other routes were not yet touching down or were a bit too candled to hold screws. The low angle wall to the left of Ganoga Falls looked in as well. Video here: Cradleboard, Ganoga Falls - January 30, 2016 (YouTube)

 Too much water and not enough single digit temps have left Ganoga Falls running strong.

 Right Wall (Left to right): Savage is not quite touching down, War Bonnet is not filled in enough to hold screws, but Cradleboard is in fine shape. 

 Dutch Eagle is touching down, but the lower third is extremely candled. We left that to hopefully grow.

 On warm sunny days, be aware of what is hanging above you. We witnessed several large daggers cut loose from the upper wall today.
