Randy Edelman and I took a trip to Ricketts Glen, and found the conditions on the right side of the Ganoga Falls Amphitheater favorable to put in a few laps. We mostly climbed various lines on the Cradleboard route to the far right of the amphitheater. Dutch Eagle and Savage still need to touch down, and War Bonnet needs to fill in. Ganoga Falls itself, is filling in nicely, but still has open water flowing over top of the ice. The left side of the amphitheater looks like it would go.

The 2019-2020 ice climbing season was a bust. In Central Pennsylvania, it never remained cold enough for the ice to fully come in. Lets hope for better conditions this coming season.
