Trip: Dragontail - TC

Trip Date: 05/01/2018

Trip Report:

Quick conditions update for anyone looking to snag some last minute ice...there isn’t any! Jacob and i climbed TC yesterday and the runnels were mostly dry with small bits of delaminating ice and rotten snow. It was pretty heady and took a while. 

Theres 

Gear Notes:
We used a stubby twice. Lots of pins and cams.

Approach Notes:
Open the stinking road already!

Awesome dude! We bailed after P1 on the runnels and left a picket. Were you the two my partner and I saw camped at the lake on night of 5/3 after we came down?

We were there the night of the 30th and climbed the route on the 1st (I think). That little bit at the start of the second runnels pitch was the business! I was pretty stoked when it was Jacob's turn on that one :)

It's been cold on the east side all spring.  Very little freeze/thaw happening.  Not surprising there's no ice yet. 

I think you missed the ice.  The first time I went into do TC was 25 years ago, and it was fat in February.  Last time I climbed it was not in condition until April, and then only for a few weeks.  Now it seams like the window is around mid April and only lasts a two weekends.
