sir_vent Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I've cut my teeth on the stuart ice cliff and the Kautz. I was eyeing the coleman headwall but that looks like a bit more than I'm ready for and I just went up baker this year. Was also eyeing the nisqually icefall but again, that looks pretty serious. Was hoping to do some ice on eldorado but am hearing that there isnt any ice there right now, so: does anyone know any moderate ice routes that lead to summits and are in now?

letsroll Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Where are you located? I am not sure of routes what are open right now, but might be interested in doing some climbing. I think most of the ice you will be looking for will happen later next month, i.e. eldorado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 What kind of ice? Glacial or water ice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_vent Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 glacier ice with a summit is what's fun to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Serl Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 1. walk up to Wedgemount Lake and do the outlet couloir on Rethel and/or the W couloir on Wedge and/or the N face of Parkhurst. better yet, do them all... 2. NW face on Matier 3. central couloir on Joffre NE face is probably in good shape by now. [maybe at the hard end of your spectrum] 4. N face (Stonecrop Glcr) on Slalok via whatever variation you choose (steeper or completely casual). 5. there are others... lotsa info on all these on bivouac.com - pay your dues and enjoy... cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
