  1. I wish we would've taken more pictures. we tried to take more video than stills but someone (tazman) forgot to put it on the snow setting so everything was too washed out to use. I'm not too good at taking pictures while belaying either.

  2. This is a very unselfish act on my part to help those in need this holiday season. I'm leaving tomorrow for 7 days in Cody, WY so I won't even be able to enjoy these sweet local conditions. They'll probably fall down before I get back, I'm sure. So all you west siders should come together and give me $15 for gas, and $3 in misc. snacks money. Enjoy!

  3. Photos are of The Cable, Children of the Sun, Trotskys Folly, Salt and Pepper and Clockwork Orange ( I think) and not in that order. Photos were taken with my cell phone so sorry about the quality. Lots of ice up there right now. The punchbowl is huge but the icicles above are monsterous. Tons of ice all the way up the coulee. Didn't climb, strictly recon.

  4. I would agree with you Arc, we thought that was weird to write on a trip report, but that's what it said. For us it was more of the fact that there was no visibility and we didn't want to go up the fan not being able to see rockfall. We're not as hardcore as some I admit.

  5. Climbed thin ice in icicle last weekend about 45 minutes off the main road. It wasn't in the guide book so I don't know anything about it. It was WI3 but very thin, rock protection for the route but we got 2 stubbies for a belay. It was at least two pitches but we didn't do the 2nd because the 15 foot vertical portion looked bad. If we could've put a nut in or something we would've done it. I was just happy that I got to swing some tools. There's actually 2 variations to climb. One is tucked into the corner and the other is a nice ribbon on a smooth face. I'm not too familiar with the icicle so I'm not sure where we were. We saw something that looked like ice and took off. 45 minutes up steep slopes. It was a pretty fun day. I'll try and get a photo on here.
