jstreet Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Anyone got a glimpse of Dury in the last week or so? Quote
rat Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 all there but looking kinda white (snow lenses?) and maybe a bit lower angle then usual except for the last pitch. Quote
cynicalwoodsman Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 OH wait I forgot... Eating good food! ... and drinking good beer! Quote
TomDancs Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Just spoke with a friend in L-Town. Doesn't sound like it's looking too good... Quote
Buckaroo Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 It's definitely cold enough, was over there today but didn't go through tumwater canyon. There's definitely ice in the icycle. Cold enough to freeze contacts saline. Quote
DirtyHarry Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Rat and I saw it yesterday. It looked good. Rat said it was coated in a "snow lense" whatever the fuck that is. Quote
Alex Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Is that like, when women get coated with "beer lense"? Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 I think it's a man's eyes you are trying to refer to. Usually the women get coated with something entirely different. Quote
Kyle_Flick Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Talked to a climber up there yesterday. The second pitch is missing, but can climb around to the left of it. It was too warm on Fri. and objective danger was high; so they backed off. Quote
Buckaroo Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 The sorry warm rain they like to call "weather" up here is back. (I call it something else.) The NWAC "Tumwater Canyon" weather monitoring station is on Tumwater mountain which is just across the valley from Drury at about the same elevation. If your really serious about tagging Drury this link needs to be in your bookmarks, that and an inflatable raft. Temps on the hour with a 10 day history DRURY TEMPS Drury is a high flow falls it takes about 2 weeks of temps in the low 20's at least to form. Anybody that goes up there when it's above the mid to high 20's has a death wish. Maybe it's not PC to say this but it seems a lot of people lately have been trying to get on stuff when it's too warm. See pics of someone on the approach pitches climbing next to big patches of bare rock and I just cringe. Wasn't someone killed near Crystal some years back being at the base of something when it was too warm? Quote
