Marble Canyon Conditions

[oldgoat]

If you’re thinking of making the long haul to Marble Canyon this weekend because temperatures have dropped – don’t! I was in the Canyon today and it hasn’t recovered yet. With the exception of some thin chandeliers on Deeping Wall there is NO ice between The Dihedral and ICBC. The column on The Dihedral is thin but could be TR’d. The first pitch of ICBC is still in existence and could be led on the right side. The second pitch is in the process of reforming and, at present, is a thin, hollow tube that is open at the bottom and running with water. The top wall has a large section of ice missing from it. The ice that is there appears to be hollow with a lot of holes in it. Having said that, Air Care and Body Shop are still there.

 

It looks like the ice season might be over so I think I’ll go to JTree.

Climbed some small flows below Wedgemount Lake today. Nothing to rave about but it was still fun. Keener looked really good but we had lots of newbies along so we continued to these small flows to set up top-ropes. Fast Eddie's Apprenticeship also looked reasonable. But tough to tell if it's fat enough from the bottom of the talus.

i had a report that Night N Gale still appears in, if you happen to be in the neighbourhood.
