wingy Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Anyone know if that ice near Baker is still in? Quote
genepires Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 yes it is there. Is it ice or super steep neve with bits of ice? Probably. Good times! Quote
jrs Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 It was in two weeks ago. 7 feb it was super-aerated: fun to second, but it made for a nervious lead. I doubt you can protect it. I also doubt it's thickened up since then, but I expect it's in prime shape for a top rope. Â Tabasco Kid however, was short fat and solid! Quote
Billygoat Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 Was skiing off Shuksan Arm yesterday and noticed two nice little columns off one of the cliffs below the hourglass. Anyone climb those? They are North facing at approx. 5000 ft and look to be solid. Quote
genepires Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 I seem to remember a tr by jayb this last fall going up to those ice flows off to the right of the summit pryamid of shuksan. (they must be at about 7000 feet though) You asking about those? Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Pan Dome was looking good sunday. Some pick marks on it. Â Probably a 3+ or 4-. Was busy skiing around instead. Quote
Billygoat Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Nah, GP, Shuksan Arm which is right off (Southeast) of chair 8. The ice is at approx 5000'. Would be a quick tour from anywhere along th chair 8 area. Quote
layton Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 see my photo in Washington Ice for info on this route on Shuksun arm Quote
Billygoat Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Couldn't find it Mike, but no biggy...looked like fun after a shitload of powderturns! Â Quote
Briang Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Hey, gonna go check out Pan-Dome on Friday and was wondering if anybody had an idea what the conditions might be like! Sure beats the heck out of work!!! Quote
MrDoolittle Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Covered in fresh snow. Enjoy the avalanches shooting over your head, as you climb some of the crappiest ice in the state. Belay REAL close to the base, so you don't get buried from above, when Pan Dome cuts loose. Quote
Briang Posted February 28, 2004 Posted February 28, 2004 Well, Pan-Dome was better than going to work but... The ice certainly wasn't solid, much snow, slush, and rot. We put up a TR and had an enjoyable afternoon. The snow pack on Pan-Dome seemed stable and well consolidated. Quote
