skykilo Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 One, be careful as the weeks progress and don't fall in the lake like an idiot when it starts to melt. Two, inside sources reveal that there may be an elevated objective hazard on Triple Couloirs tomorrow, Saturday, 26 April 2008. Climbers please steer clear. Your friend for public safety, skykilo Quote
ivan Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 ha! i assume you'll be screaming like a banshee the whole time you're riding down it? Quote

Your friend for public safety, skykilo One, is there any other way to fall in a lake? Two, post the u-tube vid here please. Quote
Rad Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 but this time HUCK the ice steps so you can get a descent that REALLY counts. Quote
fenderfour Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Dude, I hate it when people call "dibs" on routes. Mountaineers suck. Quote
skykilo Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 Nobody's calling dibs. It's just fair warning. Would you want someone skiing above you... ? Quote
ivan Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 you planning on climbing the route, then skiing it? Quote
fenderfour Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Nobody's calling dibs. It's just fair warning. Would you want someone skiing above you... ? I'm kidding. There was this thread and Rumr... yeah. Have a good time and take some photos. Quote
ivan Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 so we gonna find out how many gumbies got da chop!?! Quote
wayne Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 It was ski edges shearing off the ice screws. Quote
kevino Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Apparently ice cliff glacier is the new popular ski descent. We ran into a group of ski planning to do it. Its as easy as sherpa right? Quote
skykilo Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 Somehow my skis got left in my yard on Friday night, making for a frustrated Saturday. Yesterday we got stopped by blank slabs and rotten snice about halfway up the runnels. The first pitch was really fun ice, though. The snow was way too sloppy anyway. Next time.... Quote
skykilo Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 Apparently ice cliff glacier is the new popular ski descent. We ran into a group of ski planning to do it. Its as easy as sherpa right? It's significantly more difficult than Sherpa, but it's absolutely classic. Quote
DRep Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Good work anyway Sky! I gotta ski that someday. Quote

RuMR Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Dude, I hate it when people call "dibs" on routes. Mountaineers suck. ha...that's some funny shit! Quote
AlpineK Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 It's just a friendly heads up to climbers who are going to whimper when they get their ropes cut. Go climb somewhere that isn't a ski route or pay the price. Quote
Off_White Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Kurt, I think it's time for a ski descent of Chain Reaction. Quote
ryanl Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Just a few pics to show conditions. First runnel pitch: Our high point between first and second couloir: Near the top of the first couloir: Quote
sobo Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 That pic needs to be sent in to a calendar company! Quote
