Ice Climbing - Cradle Mt

Just back from Cradle where the big (250m+) waterfall  sequence from the Plateau to Ballroom Forest was frozen solid.

Never seen that before, but the temps  in the valley over night were minus 6C for several nights in a row. It is up there with the longest potential ice climb in Tassie as it is fed from the top by the Plateau Creek. Don't think it has ever been climbed, summer or winter but rumour has it that it has been abseiled ( a long held project of mine that has never quite materialised!). Suspect it might have gone by now although it is still cold up there, worth watching the forecast if you want to pick this plum......
