Lambone Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Anyone want to waste some time and $ up in Lilooet this weekend risking their lives on unstable ice that gets you soaked to the bone by the 2nd screw placement? I do, but my usuall partners think I'm crazy. I don't care, I need to climb ice, it may be my last chance this "season." I'll drive, all you need is gas, food, and hotel $. We can bivi in the truck also. Leave Friday, return Monday, unless we just get bored with whatever is in. Also planning on meeting Iceguy and his partner up there... Lemme know via PM, or email.

Cpt.Caveman Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 with these temps i'd call most efforts to climb in lillowet pretty desperate http://www2.mybc.com/weather/city.cfm?citycode=WKF&countryCode=CAN might as well take up skiing. it's less driving anyway.

Lambone Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 That is the main flow of G1, how are the pillars to the right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skisports Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 JoshK, you don't know how to use cramps or those thingys with picks on the end of them that are super sharp.. Me neither I Just though loggers use them to climb up trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figger_Eight Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Huh...that's what I thought. The pillars to the right were just as fat, albeit steeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skisports Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Lambone I would climb with you but I can't miss class yet. Class started yesterday and I don't have a feel for my class or my profs. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambone Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 Yeah, the pillars are the diversions, the ice in your photo used to be much fatter before they diverted the water flow. None of them were in back in December. Pretty fun for a 10min approach! Too bad ski-sports, good luck with class.... I have partners in Boz, just looking for someonne to share the drive with.

icegirl Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 that G1 pitch looks as picked out as ICY BC gets when it's in fat.... But heck, I'll take picked out to nothing the way this winter is going... I am praying to the ice gods and dancing the ice dance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambone Posted January 31, 2003 Author Share Posted January 31, 2003 G1 is the most popular climb in Hyalite, because it's 10 minutes from the car and easily topropeable. The whole Genisis Areas is the "Marble Canyon" of Hyalite, but there are 5 or six routes. G1 doesn't even compare to routes like the Dribbles. Before the diversions were put in the main flow of G1 healed much faster, but now the pillars take most of the water away from it. Then again, there were alot less climbers just a few years ago...
