JayB Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 Coleman glacier in the summertime. Possibly some stuff on Blackcomb in the winter? The skiing's always been too good for me to even think about climbing while I'm there, but supposedly there's an area with some farmed lines that's readily accessed via skis in the winter. I'm sure that other folks can fill you in with more info. Quote
J_Fisher Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 The Farm on Blackcomb is right below the Glacier Express chair, and reaching the anchors from above looks sketchy to impossible. Last year there was no ice there anyway b/c they needed the water for snowmaking. Quote
PaulB Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 ...so where are some good areas for TRing ICE? if there is any The lower tier of Marble Canyon near Lillooet is usually the location of choice for TRing ice. Unfortunately, on most weekends every ice climber from SWBC and the PNW who wants to get an ice fix without having to lead anything will be there along with the occaisonal guided group. Get yourself a copy of Don's guide for more info. Quote
