Climzalot Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 How about that ice route on Colfax Peak. Might be worth looking at. Are you still gonna give that a go Mr. Layton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climzalot Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Dru, Is PageTop the name of that route on Colfax or something else? It has been plenty cold on the North Side of Baker. I was up there last Sunday and there were several flows frozen up on the cliff bands to the left of the hogs back or climbers trail. They are all fairly easy but there was ice and quite a bit of it. Couldnt see Colfax from there though as it was snowing a bit. Even some sunstantial in the creeks on the way up there and it has gotten colder since. Go get it!

Dru Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I believe PageTop is an ephemeral route that will appear and disappear two posts after this. i was mislead into believing it had already formed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisa Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 The person you ran into on the trail was me, not TLG, she and the Col were up in the serrac fields, you may have seen them and not known it. Â It was a great time, on Sunday we climbed some water ice right near our camp spot, Fern showed us how it was done, Rodeo climbed in Lowa low ankle trail shoes and some non rigid crampons...way to go!! Â I'm sure someone will be posting pic's, or maybe we can see them at the pub club. Â Thanks for the KGB Fence Sitter, was it too cold for you guys to stay a second night or what??

Fence_Sitter Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 we had to get back for school...we had a mid-term make-up in our anthropology course...would have stayed as it was beautiful, but oh well...yeah i saw cavey and highlander on their way up to camp...we never went over to the serac field and instead found our own lil paradise after turning around on the climbing route... perhaps next time...eh?

scot'teryx Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Good times up on the Coleman Saturday afternoon Sergio and I met up with TLG and CVS and Saturdya morning and hiked up to the coleman glacier.  Lots of people already out there. It was a sweet ass day of sun and fun   Once the sun went down over the ridge it got pretty cold and we bolted around 430pm and thoguht how cold all you guys were gonna be that night.  How was the French Dining?  We had fun in the sun on Sunday at 11worth up at Sam Hill, I stuck my finger in a a fuzzy navel of a talk show host  Climbed until the sun went down   Climbing in T shirts in November rulez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
