Jens Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 What's the earliest waterfall ice you've ever climbed in OR, WA, or BC that wasn't in the mountains? (You don't have to remember the year). I remember TR'ing ice in October at the Mount Baker ski area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I don't understand how you say "Not in the mountains" and then mention stuff at Mount Baker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Nov 3rd at Banks Lake, I think it was only 2 years ago. Early Nov leading ice some other years too, "not in the mountains". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Turkey Day 2003 in the Hurricane Creek drainage in the Wallowas. kind of in the mountains, but not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrgo Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 All the good ice i've done in PNW has been in the mountains. But saying that, I've climbed a bunch of sweet flows coming off Heliotrope Ridge three years ago. The waterfalls on the trail were all frozen as well. There is quite a bit of fall water ice around bellingham, but its all in the mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfeitfake Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 What does not in the mountains mean? I think I remember stepping on an ice cube in my kitchen back in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr._Natural Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I've climbed a bunch of sweet flows coming off Heliotrope Ridge three years ago. The waterfalls on the trail were all frozen as well. Fond memories of a Fall day alone in the mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 What does not in the mountains mean? Â I interpretted this as meaning water ice that wasnt on an alpine climb, such as NW Couloir on Eldo or Mt Hood, that wasnt "too high up there" like the high ice in Mt Rainier Park and elsewhere, and that was within reasonable daytrip access from the road. So things like Alpental Falls, Hubba Hubba, Banks Lake, Vantage, etc are "not in the mountains", while things like E Couloir on Cutthroat, TripleCs, that stuff on Cooper Spur are.
