Damn.

C' mon! There's gotta be someone out there desperate to climb Montana ice!

How about posting links to these classic threads?

Dan H. ready to commit to the Hidden Couloir on our triple couloirs descent. I love those moments! Fun to capture, and oh so fleeting.

I have that time free, and am looking to get on some ice. I can go east or north. I have somewhat limited ice experience, but I learn quickly and have some leads under my belt this season. I love leading and would be willing to do the lions share if you supply the gear (rope and screws), although I do have some screws and screamers. Shoot me an PM or text 509 six nine 9-9810. Let's climb something!

The funnel aka hubba hubba, conditions today: Can't tell much from the photo really, but it does look climbable.

I think about that beer frequently! Enchantment Ale @ Gustav's! Happy skiing! Shoot me an email the next time you're in town.

hmmm...it is a little higher, but if you're driving over from the west side then it's probably not worth the trek.

Well if rainbow falls is any indication of the rest of the icicle, then I'd venture to guess that the rest of icicle is equally as decimated. I didn't drive past where I took the photo.

The recent rain and warm temps took their toll on the local ice unfortunately. Drury and rainbow falls: Here one day, gone the next.

I want to make the best my furlough day this Friday by climbing some ice. PM me or text /call: 509-699-9810. Cheerio! John

10 minute video or it didn't happen.

Nice seeing you two out there! Now all I have to do is meet Oleg to round out the cc.com Russian contingent!

I want my four minutes back...

I can't tell. Is this a two bolt boulder problem. Hard to discern from the video.

Cody this is not. However, the ice was actually not too bad today, 12/11. Kyle Flick and I climbed Punch Bowl, then took a lap on Phase Transition(?). All took good screws, and most of the hangfire had long cut loose before we were there. And we had the added pleasure of seeing CC.com's newlyweds, Doug and Veronica, in marital bliss doing their own lap on Phase and Punchbowl. Some local doing some, IF5 R-rated. Crazy!

I'm sure CC.Com really values your contributions to the site in the way of TR's, but...maybe just once in a while, add some photos to your posts here, and a narrative, instead of a single sentence and link to your blog. I'd like to just read your trips here rather than leave the site all the time. But thanks anyway for your TR's. This is not meant as a criticism.

My friend Stewart and I climbed Rainbow Falls yesterday. Mushy ice, but still climbable and fun. We then scampered up to Hubba Hubba, which is in great shape, and took excellent screws. The second pitch looked to be soft ice over slab, so we didn't bother.

Getting lost in this quagmire is part of the wilderness experience. It's a matter of pride to stroll right through it on subsequent trips.

Steep ski ballet. Now that I respect.

What the hell! Are you giving up on skiing?

Lowered price yet again. Pretty soon, I'll be paying you to take these off my hands!

Price lowered and photos added...

Hah! You know me so well. Need boots...sz. 12, along the lines of the Trango EXT's, or Lowa's.
