OlegV Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Anybody been up there recently? Early ice is always tricky and thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 You might find something to swing tools at up by Wedgemount Lake or on Blackcomb. If its not buried under 2 meters of freshiez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Dru- What are you looking for in the weather reports before heading up? A week of temps below freezing at night? More? Daytime temps? I finally have Environment Canada website figured out, and I'm trying to track the temps before committing to the first trip of the season.

Dru Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Normally there is not climbable ice in Lillooet for a couple of weeks yet. Â A week of daytime temps in Lillooet at or below 0c usually indicates climbable ice. Less than a week of cold between warm spells means the ice will be unformed. Also, lots of fresh snow will slow ice formation and lots of clear skies will speed ice formation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlegV Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 We'll be stationed just 1.5 h from Lillooet - worth going there and sticking a pick in ice. We'll report next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulB Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 You might find something to swing tools at up by Wedgemount Lake or on Blackcomb You'd want to call the Escape Route in Whistler to find out if the "ice farm" on Blackcomb is set up yet.

Dru Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Its not a Lillooet route anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordop Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 BTW, which route is on the picture? The route is called " 6 dumbasses go looking for early season ice and despite predictions that melts would have killed everything, the opposite was true and freezer shavings abounded resulting in said dumbasses bouldering the crap out a very cool glacial fragment that calved off" Â Here is how you train for ice bouldering: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riptorn Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 climbs thru the bridge river canyon are forming slowly, temps around -10 in the morning and about -5 in the afternoon over the past 2 weeks. Any forays would be sporty I'm sure. Jade falls is formed from top to bottom on the left. sorry not much of a report, but things are shaping up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_Mineev Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 sporty means thin ice no pro, right? How are the road conditions? I'll be driving RWD, got chains. Any particular spots where I should not even try going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riptorn Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 thin would be a safe descriptor, roads are 2wd but slippery, with the usual rockfall, suicidal ungulates and loaded logging trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
