With the warmer temps lately, has anyone been up to Gibraltar lately? It starts to get quite styro this time of year. One can always be hopeful.

It is a fun route and is fairly regular, I get up there once every season. It is high volume so the conditions vary, we opted out on the top pitch for that day. It was really quite brittle and really thin. There are bolts in the alcove on the right about 3/4 way up. Warm temps are predicted for the next week unfortunately.

Trip: N Idaho - Copper Falls Date: 1/28/2007 Trip Report: Climbed Copper Falls 1-28-07. Usual conditions wet on the left ice, onion skin and a little snow on the right. But it sure beats work should hold out for some time. Ice climbing in Da Ho. Gear Notes: Usual suspects Approach Notes: 95 N turn at sign right before oh Canada (east port crossing), go up to outhouse and follow creek up to falls short walk.

Thanks for the info. I'll be heading up there 9-29 hoping to climb on the 30th. Any recent conditions would be great.

Checking for conditions, thought about mid September. Or other suggestions?

Looking for info on this area by Missoula MT, better directions than guide book, anyone? I have tried MT Ice also.

Kookanusa area in Montana

Looking for reports for Copper, Stone Hill, Troy/Libby or Mission area.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably go to Gib Wall or Mission. They are only one more hour driving. I haven't climbed at Banks or Vantage. I'll have to make the run for it next cold spell. Copper was in great shape 2 weeks ago, should still be ok.

With the warmer temps does anyone think the ice will still be up and climable this weekend? Hoping it would be worth the drive.

Checking to see if anyone knows conditions of ice and road for Hyalite area. Trying for one last trip around April 15th.

Does anyone know the conditions of Gib Wall, Less Wradens, Bull River or Ravens Call?

Just checking to see if there is any word on Copper, Troy/Libby, Idaho/Montana border climbs or Stone Hill? Whith the temps lately and in the near future things are looking good.

With the cooler temps finally here just wondering if any one has been out by Banks or Quincy areas latetly?

We were up ther 2-28&29, slurp is the word. It was pulling a magic show right before our eyes, we were watching it disappear. Fun in the sun climbed only 2 pitches on Sunday as we rapped off before the real stuff started letting go.
