Idwal seems the place to go currently. There seems to be a little more ice than when I was last there. It sounds as if things are slowly coming into nick.
Here is a report from Geoff who was in there today
Things are improving daily; today (Sat 03/01/09)the ice was thicker than yesterday. Heaps of folk on Idwal Stream which looked considerably better than yesterday. Central Route was fine; thick enough to possibly take screws up to 15cm. The Screen got a couple of ascents, the Ramp too & we found Devil's Cellar in quite good nick; lots of chanderliery stuff to knock off the crux but it was still solid. choices of two finishes on to the right-hand variant. The back of the Kitchen itself is getting there as is the Curtain.
Also Berwyn Evans went on Idwal Stream today and reported not to bad conditions ( see pictures at http://www.berwynevans.co.uk/
Finally the south side of the pass is not in and there is less ice than on Wednesday. Sargents and Parsley Fern are the ones in the pass to do
