The Coming Ice Season

[jmace]

Environment Canada's wasnt great cant remeber but what I do remeber was that after all the mumbo jumbo at the end it said this forecast is not statistically better than chance so...who cares. Its probably gonna rain like it always does with one friggin weekend where hope freezes and theres a bunch of cars at the bottom of the mouse trap getting geared up when another car clearly too late to get in line pulls over and jumps out of their car already geared up including boots and run up the trail before any one

 

Im training right now for my ice season, I am going to climb ever day of the season, all 10 days of it!

[Dru]

I'm going to hire the Mousetrap Squatter to piss on the ropes of any climbers arriving before me this winter

[EWolfe]

Here's some early ice for ya Dru:

 

[Dru]

Hey E are you going to try it again this year, now that you are a certified Reticent Alpine Hardman?

[EWolfe]

Not a chance, I'd rather go to the Buttermilks, Red Rocks or J-Tree for some winter bliss.

if you'd train a bit and and wouldn't be such a wining beyotch you'd get up some really cool routes. somehow i did not see the crowds on as seen on tv or mr freeze. happy trails fader....

[Dru]

Somehow I didn't see any parties successfully climbing the Northwest Passage either, bail monkey.

[glassgowkiss]

well. if it formed it would be climbed. next time get out of your car and look for yourself. according to your betta cryptonite was formed up too. to bad you forgot to mention to bring some wings, since at least 10m section on the bottom was missing.

[Dru]

You should have added a sit start instead of hitting the vodka. Too much weaksauce on your perogies.

Thanks for the offer BOB I forward to climbing some routes with you this winter so I can better myself, Ill be in touch. Maybe the line on Joffre you climbed last summer..

 

Cheers

One can only hope for another alpine climbing season similar to last year.

 

Nice pic Darin!

[glassgowkiss]

well, with cold temp at night even in b-ham some of the ice routes on Colfax might be forming. i was looking at whistler web page and it was -3C at noon on the top of 7th heaven. this is simmilar altitude as colfax.

[oneway]

Dru, wow, you even know all the cool acronyms, can you teach me some? What does STFU mean? Maybe somday I too can sit around and post 27,000 messages and learn cool jargon. Does all this kick ace forum posting cut into your climbing time? I am kind of worried about that.

[Dru]

Feeling a little inadequate, are you?

[oneway]

Ass clown

[EWolfe]

I think our little n00b might be ready for spray now!

 

I look forward to the ice season cuz it get's Bob out of Bellingham.

I drove up to Jasper a few days ago, there is a LOT of ice forming already. Somebody has probably already been out and climbed something up high. Anyhow, Riptide is forming nicely for a change, Slipstream is very nearly totally formed (just missing the bottom bit), there's ice allover the Trophy Wall. It's been a wet (OK, miserable in general) fall for rock climbing, there is more ground water around than I've ever seen. It's never totally sure, but I think this is going to be an epic fall season! My bet is that we'll be climbing on the Trophy Wall by the end of October... Get yer binoculars out, dust off the tools, game on!

[layton]
