  1. stay away from all ice located on hwy roadcuts. they are illegal as they create a dangerous situation on the hwy, per the washington state patrol. as listed in the stevens pass area or any area. and the climbs on the upper denny mtn are inside the alpental avy control area and should only be climbed after talking to ski patrol. ice in ellensburg- umptanum falls is on public property- though you do cross private land per right of way on the approach. the actual falls is only grade3, the flow across from it is grade4. the ice on lower manastash canyon is on private property. please do not try to access it.

    1st a sense of adventure and the willingness to make the drive on possibilies is always good to find ice in washington. you gotta try. next in an old climbing magizine- there was an article outlinging several desert ice climbs. no 106 febuary 1988, i also have the washington desert: a climbers guide that gives good beta and nelson's 2nd guide book has outlined quite of fex of the routes over there. most of them are right next to the road along the hwy that parralels banks lake on the east side.

    it is still real thin from local reports.
  5. you know the late and possibly great don whilians said, "half of hard climbing is hard drinking!" maybe thats what is keeping me off of hard climbs, i need to suck down a couple of can of liquid courage. a couple of cans of olde english should out you over the top pretty quick. i know i've made several requests to the index town store to stock cans, but as of yet they only have bottles and fine selection at that.

  8. does anyone have any tent poles for a n.f. mtn tent. mine were stolen with some other stuff and n.f. wants bigggggggggggggggggg bucks for new ones.
  9. hubba hubba- is still a little thin, i went out there last weekend. though hopefully that the cold weather we are having again should push it over the top. careno falls right behind snow creek parking lot is looking fairly good right now. i will be out there this weekend again. there is always ice in the icicle, it iis just a matter how hard you want to look.
