Ice Dragons - Alpine waterice in the Beartooths

[JoJo]

I just posted a complete beta update for the route "Ice Dragons" (1,200 feet, WI3+) in the East Rosebud Canyon. It's about 3x longer than the routes on the Sphinx and in great shape right now. You can download the free PDF from the "More Beta" page at http://www.firstascentpress.com.

Good luck and have fun.

Onward,

Thanks dude! Great beta as always

 

How's the approach right now? Snowshoes needed?

[Braydon]

Wow that looks like a lot of fun! Anyone interested? pm me.

 

Is it in WI3 condition right now or more mixed/thin?

Things have been warm here. A few things are up in Hyalite but it's thin, wet and iffy. However the high altitude routes "Ice Dragons" and "Funeral for a Friend" are both in good nick-an awesome Beartooth double header. Time is now before it snows again. No snowshoes needed for either. Go to http://www.montanaice.com/forum/18 for a recent report on Ice Dragons and also photos of Funeral for a Friend. It's also in Winter Dance.

Onward.
