sexual_chocolate Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 So when does this thing come into shape usually? And how can you tell without slogging all the way up it to find out if it's solid or not? Kinda new to ice, but really want to climb this thing this winter (along with the pencil).

glassgowkiss Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 you can see it from the road, at least the upper part. total nightmare- by the time you organize a boat, drive up there, cross the river might as well drive to the rockies and climb some real ice. you might want to check stuff on duffy lake road- much more reliable then washington.

glassgowkiss Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 rat you dolt, like it's worth fucking driving 3 hours, trying to cross a river for 2 pitches of WI4? don't think so. "you're a total fucking pussy"- hey, aren't you the one who didn't climb on pyramid a couple of years ago, saying it was too thin- asswipe?

sexual_chocolate Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hey you guys, mellow out. This is my thread and there are some rules here. 1. No name-calling. 2. No anger. 3. No drunkenness (That goes for you, Glassgowkiss). 4. No idiocy (That goes for you, Rat). This is MY thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rat Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 yeah, that's what i like to see---animosity. keep it up. chase the numbers or have a bit of adventure. yep, we bailed on pyramid. why did you guys go for the less aesthetic line (honest question)?

glassgowkiss Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 (edited) honeslty it was a time issue. krzysiek had to be at work monday morning, so did i. i don't think we would be able to walk out that evening. red wall wonderers is an adventure and fun climbing in one. and no river crossings.

rat Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 we's just funnin'. it took 3 pieces of bait over 2 days before glassgowkiss would bite. fuck, i'm bored. drury is usually formed by late december and lasts into february, give or take a few weeks. the pencil is much more ephemeral since it faces a little more to the south. a pair of binocs will help determine the condition of upper drury. the 1-2 lower pitches are difficult to see from the highway but you can walk around these if necessary. you can ford the river about 1 mile upsteam near swiftwater picnic area. it is up to 3' deep, depending on your line. a boat is more efficient. approach from the boat take-out is 1-2 hours depending on snow/trail conditions (add about 30-45 minutes if fording). generally, glassgowkiss is right. ice climbing in washington sucks. go to lillooet with the other sheep shaggers.
