MtnHigh Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Who's up for some ice play Sunday on the Elliot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I might be in. Wx says chance of rain, snow level 7K'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 i'm definetly interested...more importantly, i'm not above getting rained/snowed on  on the reprehensible side though, i've only just begun learning ice-climbing, and lack ice-tools (i do have a standard axe though)...if you have a spare tool, or just want to do climbs where we can share, i'm more than willing to serve as a packmule and get all the crap up there (might even be persuaded to buy a beer in appreciation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbw1966 Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Myself a budddy of mine and Ivan were up on the Eliot on Sunday. Good time was had by all and the weather was not too bad. Crashing seracs were a bit disconcerting though. It was a bit warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbw1966 Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 We were right next to that huge serac in the center of the Eliot Glacier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 We were in the lower icefall. We got pretty soaked for awhile there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 and there i was thinking we were all alone in the beautiful weather...think the coolest thing i saw all day was a veritable waterfall of clouds...some wind system moving big streams of clouds directly towards the ground at 90 degrees for several hundred feet before flattening out just overhead...trippy shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
