Tennessee Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 After skiing around Table Mountain (near Baker Ski Area) on Sunday and seeing many nice looking ice climbs, we went back up yesterday and climbed a 2 pitch route, 2 gullys to the left of Death Picnic. Our original intention was to climb Death Picnic itself, as it's definitely the most obvious and fattest line around there right now. But it's very steep and the first 40 feet or so is on cauliflower-type formations that are like little overhangs. There's also a crusty kind of ice formed over everything that isn't dead vertical, so you don't know what's underneath until you swing. . . sometimes good ice, but sometimes it's sugar snow or rock. Death Picnic looked too steep for our taste and we chose the other line. DP looks like a solid 5, our line went at about 3+ with marginal pro, but good enough. There's lots of other potential ice and mixed climbs up there. If it doesn't get too warm over the next few days, they should still be in pretty good shape. Quote
