there isnt any ice! which is shitty. but you can get some real good frozen tree climbing in! best chance would be east face for ice, as of now. cheers,
anyone have any suggestions where the best ice is going to be this coming weekend, thur-sun? leavenworth has been to dry for anything to form. Banks lake maybe?
nope, no snow shoes needed, but to just warn you i was up there today to give yocum a shot and we couldnt even get up to illumination saddle the windwas blowing so bad. you could barely stand up!!!! lets hope it goes away fast;
gonna head up to hood tomorrow and looking for someone to climb yocum with. all my hard core partners are busy as of now. Conditions will be prime its supposed to be cold cold cold. call me if you are interested and able. 541-301-4542
thanks guys, i think i am going to tyr the TC's, i called the leavenworth climbing shop and they say the snow is consolidated and its freezing good at night. Since the TC's are in the shade most of the day i think it will be prime.
fifty fifty on weather i am gonna head up there. thinking i will do chair peak on thur and see how the snow is there and if its good then i probably will head up and do two routes on big four, fri and sat. wish us luck!!!!!
i was thinking about heading up there wed night and doing somthing like chair peak, or big four if we get colder weather. have you done chair peak before?
has anyone been up to big four recently? gonna head up there thur to climb, thinking the conditions should be ok, snow should be consolidated? anyone else thinking about climbing later this week up there?
always down for some aiding, got a pretty good size rack of pins, and cams ect... There is a new A4 line on the wombat at smith, i would be down for doing.
i have checked out little tahoma a couple times and i just recently started checking in to the north and northeast face. my question is have either of these seen a second ascent? i read that one of them has only been climbed once back in the fifties or sixties. Either way in a couple of weeks i am going to go up and check it out, somthings gonna go.
