Matteo Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Hello all, Anyone been by Snow Creek Wall lately? I am wondering how the routes look. Does snow accumulate easily on the face? Thanks for you info. matteo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 its a slab with ledges of course snow is going to accumulate. werd on the street (actually my friend in lworth) said they got about 4" in town yesterday and the day b4. so climbing scw is going to involve a bit of sports action to get to the top. and i do know people who have climbed it in the winter all mixed like.

Al_Pine Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 SCW is actually in the lower left center of that picture (compare to sunnier days pictures) and that picture is apparently taken almost two weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matteo Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 (edited) Ah yes I see.... Looks fairly bare on the face. Edited November 25, 2003 by Matteo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 But you can't see the face of SCW. It's on the other side of that feature Al_Pine pointed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_harpell Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 and that was 2 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious dihedral on the formation Al Pine mentions is the Northern Dihedral. To the left of it, there is a tip of a tree pointing directly at the right edge of Library Ledge. But that was last summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Yeah, you're right. My bad. I was looking at the wrong feature (the feature above the true SCW). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
