tlinn Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 As usual I had the day off when no one else was available to climb so I headed off from Kelowna in search of ice. - Had a look at Private Idaho on the way through; too thin right now. - Spences Bridge Overflow was gushing like crazy and the right side still hasn`t touched down. - the Goldpan area had a couple good climbs. Happy Boy was a bit too thin but Energizer was good enough to climb. While on the way down from Energizer I went over and had a look at After the Gold Rush and it looked nice so I went over there for a few hours. After the Gold Rush is a bit thin but climbable. I made the mistake of leaving my pack below the first steep pitch and I had to try and scramble down a choss/dirt chute with some of the worst rock I`ve ever encountered. This was true training for the Rockies at its best. Whatever you do follow the recommended descent route! - afterwards I had a look at Oregon Jack from the field. It looks in and there was a car parked at the end of the road. I didn`t want to get out of my car because there was a pack of dogs I didn`t want to mess with.

tlinn Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Sorry Dru, didn`t check that one out. But they`re forecasting colder temperatures by the end of the week so you never know. The area is quite dry right now. There is no snow at the Goldpan campground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
