Ced Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 I was out for a hike/scramble of Hope Mtn today. At the end of the road there are four (4) ice routes formed. Two were grade 3, about 60-70m, two more shorter easier routes and what looked like a grade 4. All within a 5-10 min walk from road end. I checked West Coast Ice and didn't see these climbs. Bad news is the forest road has a river of ice from side to side (40m long) at the 3.7 km mark leaving a 5 km walk to the routes. Chains may help. For Hope Mtn, there is only between 2-4 inches of snow in the shade, south aspect melting bare patches. The crux which has a fixed rope is now encased in ice. I scrambled up to the right, 5m of class 3 which lead to snow & ice covered slabs. The rest was just a great day in the mtns. There are numerous ice routes up high on Hope Mtn, with poor access.

Ced Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 Good climb Jordop, I couldn't make it back before this warm weather hit. How was the decent could you rap off the trees or abalakov's? If we get another cold snap before the snow hits, I'll head back. Cheers Ced.

jordop Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Lottsa trees for raps and belays. Ice was really shitty, dinnerplating everywhere, screws melting out. Roads gonna be snowed in now, I think, but I guess you could ski in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
