cynicalwoodsman Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I think the crag is called Cougar Bluff(s)? <1 mile from gate toward falls up on the right, there's a crag that's got some ice forming on it. Many splats of it all over up in there, and something promising forming up in the main weakness basically splitting the face. Does anyone know if this stuff ever comes in or has been climbed?

nordicpunk Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Yes, I know people have climed the ice that sometimes forms up in the gullys on the (climber's) right hand side. I can't remember anything about the middle. seems like there were large chunks of ice forming on that part last year too but never linked up enough to be in my ability.(just a few free hanging pillars yikes!) just keep checking it out and it may go. ice is a fickle beast in Oregon. Sometimes ice will form along the sides of Tumalo that you can TR. Also- check out the Strawberrys. Best ice I found near Bend (~3hr drive).

cynicalwoodsman Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Strawberrys? w w w where's that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gslater Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 East and a little south of John Day. I think Prairie City is the town closest to there. It's a small, but pretty cool little mini-alpine wilderness area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapertimmy Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 wouldn't it be Strawberries, not Strawberrys. John Day... so hot right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
