So my question is this, isn't it considered correct to stay off someone's route until they free it. It takes a lot of work to clean a route out here in the PNW. That is unless they take years to lead it or leave it for good? Recently someone told me to go and free a route that his friend had scrubbed the week before. I thought that was pretty rude and sure to cause bad feelings in a small community with very few climbers. This guy seems to be a bit of a glory hound always out for himself anyways.....

Last winter saw sweet ice conditions for about three weeks, everybody do the ice dance and think positive!! I mean negative!

I live an hour and a half from Lillooet, in Hope, and I am planning on several trips up there this winter. I'm off work lots, weekdays mostly, the occasional weekend. I have twenty years climbing experience. I also have a nice little assortment of gear for ice/mixed. And a rather nice assortment of rock gear too. Loads of stuff to do up here and always keen to get out. Also if anyone needs condition reports from a first hand view let me know, glad to help.

Anyone interested in going to Wells Monday December 3rd? My truck will make it in no problem. Going once.....
