banks lake conditions?

[leearden]

hello race fans,

has anyone checked conditions recently?,(thursday or friday)

 

I'm interested in the first or second climb south of Dry Falls Interpretive center on the West side of the highway. (ACROSS the road and uphill from "children of the sun"). agentorange or clocworkorange of something?

 

will this drip ever touch down?

thanks

Hey I was up there today with a friend today, I'm pretty sure we did agent orange, but I'm not sure, my buddy had the guidebook.

 

good ice, kinda crappy at top. did something left of it also, really nice. good day

[leearden]

sounds great,

glad you had fun, I'm not sure your post in the E. WA forum described the route I'm looking for though. Did you scramble up a significant basalt scree slope to access the cliff?

anyways, sounds like your buddy gave you a burly pitch as a first day on ice, Nice Job, and thanks for the feedback.

Can anyone confirm the name of this drip? the first pillar on your right (uphill), as you drive down the hill south of the dry falls parking lot. I've never seen it touch down since the late 90's. Is this our year?

Yeah, there was a definite basalt scree slope to access the cliff. It was a bit (north?) past the cable, I think around milepost 8? Kinda tiered.

swee-eet,

Do you recall if the last pitch, the one that surmounts the upper bluff had touched down?

I think Rob is talking about a climb at Banks Lake, called Agent Orange. The one that leearden is talking about is Clockwork Orange. Clockwork Orange is located up the hill from the Sun Lakes State Park, just south of the Dry Fall Visitor Center. I haven't seen that touch down yet this year, but it would be cool if it did. Not sure about the last week, but I think it's been pretty warm over there.

 

Nice day out on some ice none the less though Rob :tup:
