On Saturday we visited Lee Vining Canyon for the first time this season. With the recent cold temperatures the ice is forming and climbing is now possible for beginning through advanced levels. Currently as we write this it is storming in the Sierra with the first of a series of systems expected to hit the area this week. No doubt a lot more ice will be formed up soon! Here are a couple highlights from the day.
