gyselinck Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 Climb: Mount Stuart-Ice Cliff Glacier attempt Date of Climb: 2/11/2005 Trip Report: First sights of Stuart and the Ice Cliff Glacier's massive wall. My first impressions. Our route up the wall. An icy pitch. Red arrow shows the hidden shrund, blue arrow shows the upper route. We bailed right here. North Ridge, Ice Cliff Glacier, Sherpa Glacier.

olyclimber Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 Nice. Great to see someone getting on it. Quote
sobo Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Yeah, but gyselinck lost beaucoup points for not having his name written on athletic tape in Marks-A-Lot pen and taped over the MSR logo. Quote
Alex Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 (edited) talk about low snow year! {edit} its actually too bad you didnt get the weather to keep going, as ICG is a really nice, comfortable moderate route through a really spectacular area! The upper couloir is fairly moderate except for the cornice at the top. But its good you bailed, fumbling around looking for the descent route once you exit the route is difficult enough in good weather. Once the road opens, go back and do the entire route in a day car-to-car, its a great trip done light! Edited February 16, 2005 by Alex Quote
