AlpineMonkey Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) One week ago my partner and I attempted the unnamed and unclimbed Strobach D on page 220 of the WA Ice book. The begining of the climb begins with a 25 foot free hanging ice curtin, aprroximatly 95 degrees. While attempting the route a loud bang, like a gunshot came from the curtin and a fracture line appeared. I bailed. We returned one week later (12/29/06) to find the hanging ice in a little better condition, resulting in the FA of a fine route. Name/Difficulty: Tower of Power - WI 5 FA: 12/29/06 Length: 50 meters Avalanche Danger: Moderate Approach: The right most flow in the Motherlode Area Route: Ascend the 25 foot 95 degree free hanging curtin leading to moderate ice climbing above Descent: Rappel the route Edited December 30, 2006 by AlpineMonkey Quote

AlpineMonkey Posted January 1, 2007 Author Posted January 1, 2007 Can you post Microsoft Word attachments on here. I made a word document summarizing all of the ice climbs in the Motherload area which some may be interested in. Quote
TrogdortheBurninator Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 you could do an alt-prntscreen and save it as an image, then upload it. Quote
