Denizen Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 does anyone know if ice has formed in leavenworth already? or perhaps hyalite canyon? Quote
geordie Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 It snowed today about 500' above Leavenworth, but was pretty sunny today. I'm guessing it will be a while. (Morning temps in Cashmere are still high 30s.) Quote
John Frieh Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Leavenworth has not. If you haven't already the introduction to Washington Ice is prerequisite reading for understanding NW ice alchemy. As far as Hyalite canyon some of the early season suspects (twin falls) were in but a recent warm spell melted a lot of it. After a week of above freezing temps it finally dipped back below freezing Sunday night so things should be forming back up. The best up to date conditions can be found on montanaice.com which for some reason has been down today. Get in a habit of checking this website once every few days or so to keep up on what is getting climbed, etc etc. Quote
DRep Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 For Hyalite, as of this last weekend Twin falls was out along with G2 and everything else. However, it has been colder here and we might have some stuff formed up by the end of next week. I did twin in really thin and wet conditions two sundays ago and was totally stoked, but now im waiting again. We watched cleo's completely collapse in front of us as soon as we finished rapping down twin (scary). Quote
John Frieh Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Bump FYI what was climbed as of last weekend (12/1-12/2): Quote
nordicpunk Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Most everything is in now for hyalite. some things in thin condition. all the grade 3/4 climbs close to the trailhead were done. also cleo's (not touching down), resposible family men, winter dance, Dribbles, Silken, Twin, Thrill is gone, Elevator shaft, fat one, and Mummy I-IV. probably some others too, but I can't remember.

kevino Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 John, are you going out there in march? Quote
John Frieh Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 In the process of buying a house... if it closes on time then good chance. Quote
DRep Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 It's been warm out here lately, I heard a rumor that they are gonna plow the road one of these days. Quote
coug4 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 They plowed to just past Langohr today. Locked the gate so I suspect they will work to finish the job tomorrow (conjecure). Quote
powderhound Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Sounds like they finished plowing and now are allowing travel up hylite. Come and Get It, is huge for any of you hardmen around here. Quote
John Frieh Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Did they plow the east fork or just the main fork? Quote
coug4 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 http://www.montanaice.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=890&start=0 They are not finished yet. Amy put up a good post yesterday suggesting that we keep up with our good citizenship and not interfere with the plowing efforts. As of yesterday they had it clear and open to the dam. Above that, there is still plenty of work for them and I assume they won't appreciate yesterday's new snow being packed by sleds etc. With some luck, they will wrap it up tomorrow. (John; it looks like they will just go to Grotto Falls, not the East Fork.) Steve Quote
