Climb: Duffy lake road ice scouting and ICYBC climbing-icybc

 

Date of Climb: 2/16/2006

 

Trip Report:

Drove to ICYBC from Whistler for a day of breaking in a novice. conditions of climbs:

 

from road:

Rambles looked okay from what one could see

Loose Lady too thin (not in)

Tube none existent

Synchronicity next year

Carl's Berg too thin for me, but maybe climbable by hardmen

Soo blufs some hint of ice (could be better, didn't get a good look at it)

 

climb:

ICYBC and area: fat, wet on LHS and RHS, stepped out in places. Lake is frozen, second tier in, third tier is running in the middle with ice formed to the top.

 

FYI: road crews were working on bridge right by Synchronicity. Had to wait 30 min. Hopefully they finished up this afternoon.

 

Approach Notes:

99 to ICYBC in great shape...random snow pack stretches on bare...safe to bring mom's caddy.
