Ice climbing January 30th


Tyler

Recommended Posts

I will be in Mazama, WA, ice climbing the 27th - 31st. Of course this depends on the conditions, and the long-term forecast doesn't look good. I will be climbing with a guide on the 28th and 29th, but I don't have anyone to climb with on Sunday the 30th. I'm pretty much a newbie to ice, but I will have basic equip and a vehicle. If someone far more experienced than I would be willing to let me tag along for some ice on the 30th, let me know...

maybe right now, but not always. I heard there's some farming going on...

 

Maybe... It was very cold last week. I don't know what it will be like next week now that it is warming up and there might be rain... We'll see...

 

Goat Wall ice is fed by snow not creeks or springs. So it could be cold as shit but if there's a sparse snowpack there won't be any ice.

I just got back from a XC skiing holiday in Winthrop-Mazama. I spied a big, fat frozen waterfall on the left hand side of Goat Wall. There were other frozen waterfalls around the base of goat mountain as well. While it never got below freezing where we were, perhaps these waterfalls are high enough to stay frozen?
