Frenchman Coulee Ice

[AlpineMonkey]

Drove out there yesterday. Frenchman Falls could be climbed now, but it would be better in a week. The drips to the left and right of Frenchman might be coming in. Fuggs Falls has no ice at all. Running Gear Death Falls is fat and climbable.

Vantage as of 3 Dec still has some water flowing.

Spent saturday on Atkins Diet. If you have the WA Ice book, the rumors are true

Yesterday I was on Atkins Diet. Today I'm on a see-food diet.

Did you actually climb atkins diet? I was there on the second of this month and there were about a dozen major flows trying to come in, but I didn't see any that I could climb. We did end up climbing some one pitch climbs further up the canyon though. Maybe I was looking in the wrong area? Did you see our foot prints?

[catbirdseat]

Atkins Diet was fat. I'm taking Scott's word for it that that was what we were climbing, because I never actually looked in the guide book.

 

Two other climbers had been in there a couple hours before us, so their tracks obscured any earlier ones that might have been yours.

There were some footprints. There was another party in the area that walked by on their way out on Saturday. We assumed that the foot prints were there's. We did climb it, and the sticks were fat and solid. Took medium size screws and there was enough ice up top to set v-thread TR anchors so we could run laps.

[AlpineMonkey]

That was not Atkins Diet, just so you know. That flow which you were climbing is not in the book.

Any recent updates for Vantage. I was wondering if maybe the flows to the left and right of Frenchman have come in?

climbed frenchmann falls with alpinemonkey today. was a little warm and dripping with a lot of water flowing down the left side, and screws were not very strong. But fun and climable. Maybe craig will post some pictures
