Trip: Banks Lake - Date: 2/8/2014 Trip Report: Climbed at Banks Lake yesterday, Feb. 7, with Jason. He gave me a tour for most of the lenght of the road; my first time there. Here's some pix of various routes and conditions. The Cable was thin at the bottom; H202, Devil's Punch Bowl. We wound up running some lapse at Pee Wee's with Jason of the sharp end. With underground feeds, the water was still running despite the cold temps. The routes we did at Pee Wee's got wet pretty quickly. The last route got full sun late in the afternoon; about 4:00. The draws and biners became encased in ice and the biners were "fun" to remove while getting soaked from above.

Driving home, east on Hwy. 84 today, I snapped this pix of some ice at Ainsworth. Not sure how stable or reliable it actually is. It was 37 degrees and hasn't seen any "real" drops in temps probably since early Dec. Just some beta in the event it might come in handy..... sorry, couldn't get the pix to rotate.

I'm good; thanks for any consideration. Mick

keenwesh, Thanks for taking the time to convey the beta. Very much appreciated. You're correct, we did get service at Deer Creek; I have At&t. I tried to respond to you from there, but just couldn't get the screens to moved with only 1-2 bars. You were right on about conditions also, everything looks in and fat. My partners did Main Vein, p 1. was touching down; the rest was more than in. I did Stringer with them the next day. The last pitch was thick and fat; a beautiful peice of ice after a 20 min. or so hike through a canyon that has endless mixed potential. We got rained on pretty steady for about 5 hours afterwards; which turned to aprox. 3 in. of snow overnight. We left yesterday am and I did the full drive back to CDA area. Again, thanks! Mick

I'd like to head to either Bozeman or Canmore area to climb some moderates (+); between Jan. 16 to 27th? I'm heading to Cody in 5 minutes and back on the 13th, or so. I can adjust my schedule. Camping in the South Fork I won't have much internet so be patient for any response. I'd be leaving from the Coeur d'Alene,ID area. Hwy. 90 and 95. Thanks! Mick
