earthly Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Anyone a clue to early season climbing in Joffre? Weather patterns to look for? Environment Canada reports a week of freezing at nights... Quote
DirtyHarry Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 I bet it will be cold at night there. Quote
Dru Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 lots of fresh snow last week. takes longer than a week to set up. but go check it out... Quote
earthly Posted December 1, 2005 Author Posted December 1, 2005 Visited Joffre and Skookumchuck Hot springs this last weekend. North Joffre should be all set for fun by this week. We only had a 2wd, so scoped from up the road and saw thin ice on the left of the valley, not sure which route (or if one). But they've been having consistent freezing and perfect conditions for two weeks now. Anyone up for climbing the 10th and the 11th? Quote
jordop Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Couloirs are probably all unconsolidated freezer shavings; the massive melt last week didn't really do much up there. Â From the North Joffre-8 mile col on Sunday, there was very litle ice visible; up high only tiny hanging daggers, at/below treeline was still running water if you can believe it/despite recent temps.

Dru Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 A lot of stuff can form up in a week, though. Last new years', nothing was in on Tuesday and it was fat by Sunday... Quote
