Marble Canyon Update

[oldgoat]

This last warm spell has created a fair amount of havoc in Marble Canyon. Dale’s Route, Waite For Spring, The Jolly Rancher, and all 3 pitches of Icy BC have collapsed or severely melted out. The Dihedral is thin but leadable (a couple of 13 cm screws will help). Deeping Wall is still in but very wet. The driest line is on the far right (solid 5 – bring lots of screws).

Thanks for the update. Hopefully it will get colder.

I wonder if people are walking across the lake or are they going around?

We walked across the lake. It appears to be OK.

Chris Stephenson and I hit Lillooet on Friday and Saturday and were surprised to find how good and thick the ice was.

At marble we were able to walk across the lake. I led deeping wall and a mixed route to the left. We Tr'd many mixed variations. We climbed all the ice and mixed lines at the rambles left and rambles center and could not beleive how thick and hero ice it was despite all the internet banter. Plenty thick for screws. And very few climbers.

Gotta love that Reynolds bar- cheap good food and free pool!
