You can drytool the frost on my front steps on Sunday morning!

[allthumbs]

It was so cold when I woke up this morning, I had to use a hair dryer to unfreeze my ass cheeks before my morning constitutional.

[Cpt.Caveman]

Some areas need groundwater or snowmelt.

[Alex]

I dont know of anything that has formed, but I plan to use my weekend to check stuff out. maybe even get early season scared..! Probably be heading Pauls way one of the days.

 

One things for sure, you dont need a snowmobile yet to get to the good spots

just returned from wasting some time up the cascade river road with a headcold. there are some thin low-angle flows on the slabs below cascade pass and a couple steep thin drools formed directly below the sill glacier (if that's your thing). the fault-line route on the left side of j-berg's northeast face looks like it might be a good mixed climb right now---likely need a bivy if you went to the summit. as of 2 weeks ago, the 1985 route on j-berg (couldn't scope it from the parking lot this morning) and the triplets couloirs looked like they could use a bit more precip.

from what i understand you are a steep thin drool.....

 

[icegirl]

so seriously, about the ice report... or lack thereof...

 

I'm guessing that although it's been so darn cold, there is not enough groundwater to give us any flows...

 

And they say it rains all the time up here....

 

right.

[IdiotGroupie]

surfing is cool! you guys are all dumb. I am with specialed, he is my hero!

Did the S face of the Tooth today. Nice route, and a few short mixed/thin ice routes are showing up! Anybody done some of them?

[Lambone]

yah, we did zee Toof yestarday, my vigin Toof ascent. I thought it was a quality route!

 

The ice around source lake is forming, and almost in...almost meening that it is probably climbable, but by the looks of it you'd be hard pressed to get good pro in. If this cold sticks around it will be ready very soon.

 

today im stuck raking leaves

there were a few waterfalls forming up at heliotrope ridge, but they were so disconnected to teh rock, you couldn't even hook without a chunk comming off...but who knows what the next few weeks may bring?...

[Alex]

yeah the forecast was for warming temps and precip through the end of the week. I am hoping the stuff thats already formed will survive and we'll have an early year like 2000

[Dru]

stuff formed up around lillooet, upper elevations near hope, not super fat yet.

You were in the wrong area man. We hit up a 1/4 pitch waterfall and it was super fun. 100 yards from the tent baby.

fence sitter, you missed out big time. the wi2+ stream fucking rocked!!! (thanks for the tr, fern!)

[Fence_Sitter]

naw i just got the pics back and dmn it was fun...we got our fair share of vertical ice in the ice field we had to cross up on the glacier but then descended down to a 2+ pitch waterfall...i went up about 12 feet and decided that i was a dumbass for even being on that thing as a nice sheet came down and knocked my boot out and i barndoored...good times though...perhaps after this warm/wet spell i will head back up there and check things out...that WI2 sounds killer...we'll have to hook it up sometime...
