Heading south on I-87, The Northway, we drove by Poke-O and Chapel Pond. There were climbers all over Poke-O and a few around Chapel Pond Canyon, but none on Chapel Pond Slabs. We didn't stop the car to get any photos, but here are a couple videos of the conditions. Next time I'll have to hold my phone in landscape mode to make for better viewing, but this'll have to do for now.
