carolyn Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Yep it is less brittle and *way* easier to climb in. I'd rather have some real ice and brittle conditions. I am able to adapt better. Well, c'mon out then cavey! We have a pretty decent fest taking place up north next month. Is the ice that poor out there this season?

E-rock Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Carolyn, you DON'T like to feel your nose hairs freeze?! I can only think of two sensations I like better than than that, and one of them is the sensation of a telemark turn in powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeclimb9 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 It was 3 outside this morning. Hoar feathers were flagged off the icicles hanging from the eaves. What a change from last week. View from the kitchen this morning (the lower part of the Wellsville mountains is darkened by fog. It's all snow covered): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carolyn Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Wow, wish I could wake up to that view. Instead, I woke up to frozen noze hairs and difficulty breathing while listening to my car putter. -18 this am!(no windchill) Will, N.Georgia? How often does that happen?!?!?! Btw...Erock, my favorite is listening to the snow crunch under your feet OR driving down an unplowed road (when the cars are cleared) and sliding all over the place. One of these days Im going to slide into a tree if Im not careful though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialed Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Will that's sick I'm movin to Georgia, not. Anyway there's no such thing as winter down here in So Cal. It gets in the low 60's and people put are all decked in sweaters and shoes and socks and shit. I'm like damn I got to put my shirt back on now. Fuck this shit. I'm goin to Josh this weekend but I'd rather be crankin at Index or skiin the cascade concrete or some shit rather than listen to all these poser so cal bitches talk shit about sumthin stoopid. Regardless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willstrickland Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Will, N.Georgia? How often does that happen?!?!?! Actually, most years. You can see that it's pretty thin though. There are three or four reasonably reliable areas in N. GA, but two of them are small (like 40-70ft). Mt Yonah has some good 60m lines, but they get way slabby in the middle. Rabun Cliffs area (in the photo) has good stuff when it's in, and when it gets really, really cold Amicalola Falls comes in and it's multi-pitch. The stuff on Whitesides in NC is pretty sweet, good multi-pitch. Check out Southeastern Ice for beta/conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
