kurthicks Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 a friend of mine said that the season started in Hyalite a couple weeks ago, but according to montanaice.com, it's suffered from the warm temps recently. It's getting colder now though, so they're probably going to get better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Hyalite is looking anorexic- Genesis, Mummies, and the UnNamed Wall all need some more precipitation and colder temps- some routes are "in," but they are very thin and somewhat sketchy. Mummy IV is in, not sure how stable it is though. Twin Falls is in (kind of), but there is still water flowing down the route, underneath the ice. Responsible Family Men is in and it looks great. Dribbles hasn't started to form yet, nor have any of the other climbs in that area. The Climb Above Dribbles was looking in, but getting to it might be problematic. Not sure about any of the East Hyalite climbs- pray for some more snow and colder temps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted November 14, 2004 Author Share Posted November 14, 2004 Thanks! I posted the same thing over at montanaice.com, hoarded over by ice baron, Jim the duke of url grey.com  jojo stole my question on the sphinx and is hoping to use his clout to get more info than me.

Ryan Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I'd bet that the Sphinx is shaping up quite nicely. There was a fair share of snow up there when we drove past it towards the end of last week, and with the melt/freeze cycles that we've been having, the north side is probably coming into condition; not sure if it'd be worth the drive from Washington, but if you're desparate...

Ryan Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Michael- when will you be showing up? I'd like to head out and climb some ice up in the Madison range, and it looks as if though Hyalite may be up to par by then. Let me know if you want to climb...
