icebat Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Wow--would've expected at least a little ice after all that snow this past winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmknight Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Nice job. Unfortunately I have yet to do it myself, but the word on the street is that late spring is the time to do it if you want to find some ice. Generally by fall the route is melted out.

syudla Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 To catch the route in 'prime condition' the best time is actually late fall. When there has been an ealy season snow fall then a warm indian summer. Like this year Any time in spring or early summer you will find it in snow/neve condition.
