The South Fork-One week of ice in heaven

South Fork of the Shoshone, Wyoming. The last days of 2013, and into 2014 — with Steve Robitshek.

The hit list for the first 6 days;

-The Schoolhouse Route
-Broken Hearts to top of P4.  The 5th pitch was in 5/5+ conditions and wet. Didn't attempt it. Attempted to link to Broken Ribs, but it was out.  Looked at stringer next, also out.
-Spyin n' Flyin, climbed 1st pitch twice as the crux 3rd pitch was out. Bummer as it looked like it would have been fun.
-Sendero Illuminoso
-Cabin Fever and the first pitch of Wyoming Wave. We hike up the other drainage to check it out as well, but nothing until my boot went underwater in a small pool.
-First 60m of California Dreams-rest was out.
-The Moratorium
