TrogdortheBurninator Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 did you see this? http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/754725#Post754725 Quote
Rafael_H Posted January 3, 2008 Author Posted January 3, 2008 Aha, thank you, that's what I was looking for! The Search did not work - the climb is misspelled... Quote
Rafael_H Posted January 4, 2008 Author Posted January 4, 2008 The older post does not seem to have definitive info for this year... Quote
jmace Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Suck it up and go look I highly doubt its gone..follow Dons map watch for flagging and have a look along the river..too dark then wait till later in the year when you have more daylight or hit something along the Duffey on on day 1 then save some time and suss it out in the afternoon then ace the approach on day 2 The log is massive and very easy to spot..as don said though it is a bit hair raising when its icy in the morning park at the bridge so you dont get towed Quote
Rafael_H Posted January 4, 2008 Author Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks jmace! I first used the log I think back in 2000, so if it has been there all these years then I'll chance it going in. Will post the results. Quote
Alex Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 "Confirmed" today that the log is well and truly gone Quote
G-spotter Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 How warm was it? I saw Lillooet hit +6C today? Quote
Alex Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 It was +6 in town, above freezing at Rambles and above freezing at Marble. Quote
TrogdortheBurninator Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 So, given that the log is gone, would trudging the north side (slide path and all), or wading from the south side be more desirable? The river looks a bit fast for wading in the photo, is there some slower water in the vicinity? Quote
G-spotter Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I have walked out from the climb to the bridge along the riverbank and it is not bad so all the "oh no the log is gone" whining is pretty funny. Just do it. Quote

PaulB Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I have walked out from the climb to the bridge along the riverbank and it is not bad so all the "oh no the log is gone" whining is pretty funny. Just do it. I've gone in along the riverbank a couple of times and it wasn't that bad. Once, we even shepherded a guy with a dislocated shoulder back to the bridge by headlamp, and he was able to move along easily enough. Quote
Lambone Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 we hiked the river today, it sucked. there was a crust layer underneath 6 inches of fresh that broke through randomly every ten steps... but the climb was pretty cool! a little rotten from the sun exposure, good sticks but bad screws. seems like the avy danger is high now with that crust layer underneath, it rained here Monday then got cold.

FFCS Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Paul B, that was me that you sheperded out I think, I agree not that bad, if you can make it down the gully without problem, then you can make this approach Quote
