Dru Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 lyle sent some photos around, looks like there is some but not a lot of ice in in the Bridge River Quote
kurthicks Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 11worth is more like leavenworthless for ice. Quote
tlinn Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 Keener below Wedgemount Lake was looking good last Thursday but the week's sun may not have been that kind to it. Going to Wedgemount Lake again tomorrow and I'll report back later. It's only a three hour hike to the climb with the current conditions. Quote

layton Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 i tried but it snowed well over a foot on my tent sat night and was actively dumping as i put my tail b/tween my legs when i said fuck it. this was in the n.cascades. Quote
Timcb Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 So the temps in Lillooet look like they've been oscillating around freezing and, as a lillooet (and ice) noob, I'm wondering what this means to the climbs.. Are most of the climbs (especially the WI 2s and 3s) at higher elevations than what Enviro BC forecasts? Is it going to be worth checking out this weekend? Quote
Dru Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 yes there is going to be ice in up there not thick and fat but north facing stuff will be ok. lillooet is colder than the forecat, and the climbs are at higher elevations than forecast  but south facing sunny routes will be sun rotted and gnarly and you should avoid them.

jordop Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 The question is why would you go to Lillooet this weekend when the weather is showing 100% chance of ALPINATION Quote
Dru Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 somebody's gonna be crying about windslabs on monday Quote
Tyler Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 If you have a snowmobile, there are some routes in the North Cascades that are accessible via SR20 past the snow blockade outside Mazama. Â A route in the Willow Creek drainage (I think this is the correct name) appeared to be in. There also appeared to be some routes in at Rainy Lake. We didn't look at these routes up close, so I am not exactly sure of the conditions or grades. We climbed Friday and Monday on a formation along a roadcut on SR20 just past the hairpin and below Washington Pass. Â Enjoy! Tyler Quote
