Leavenworth ass-clammin' update: after a week with temps in the teens, things are looking more promising 'Tumwater canyon -- nothing to speak of. Drury looks great, but I'm guessing frighteningly soft - notorious for leaders looking down to see their freshly-placed screws falling out... Assicle canyon: at least 3 lines on Hubba-Hubba hill appear to be in; though might be a good weekend to avoid the Funnel. I've seen two parties in the Central Gulley (aka "Chicken Gulley") of Assicle Butt-rest in the past two days - even got stubbies in the first pitch! A party had laid a ladder across the Assicle to access Dog Dome yesterday, & climbed Dog Nasty Dike. Ran a few laps at Rainbow Gulley this a.m. - too thin to protect, but clammable if you limit yourself to hooking placements - swinging tools would destroy both the ass and your picks - crampons better smeared than kicked; lead-climbers your tools are your belay, so might consider wrist leashes... Candlestein Left (aka "Careno Left") is clammable with a rock finish -- C Right has not touched down. numerous dubious looking mixed possibilities... its here for those desperate enough... have not heard reports of coulee ice... -Haireball
