Did Polar Circus last Friday. Some sections were hooked out . . . others not so much. You can find my buddies write-up of it on his blog: http://rafalandronowski.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/a-day-at-the-polar-circus/

Did polar circus on Saturday Feb 13th - bluebird day for it. Climb was in great condition & only one other party was on it with us. All the pitches were in great form as were the approach trails between the lower & upper sections - the climb has seen some serious traffic over the last while.
The ribbon pitch was (I felt....but I did not lead that one) the crux of the day - in very different conditions than the pictures posted in the post prior to this one. It was a soaking wet vertical shower with lots of unconslidated chandilery ice hard to protect. You could kick in & sink your whole boot into the ankle. Top tiers were in good condition with the final crux pitch hooked out for the 15m vertical section off the belay. Will post a couple pics later on.
