bridge river ice (NOT!) - jan 1/09

probably as a result of a very dry autumn, followed by a very sharp cold snap before much snow had fallen, the bridge river canyon is a bit of a disaster area.

 

***suncatcher not formed; couldn't see anything on xwisten steps, but they're fairly hidden.

 

*** jade in and fat - column to right not formed.

 

*** michelmoon looks in, but access remains closed.

 

*** plan B might be climbable.

 

*** capricorn discontinuous.

 

*** no ice whatsoever on old dogs, house of cards, silk degrees, the gift, the theft.

 

*** troubled waters looked OK

 

*** silk worm might be climbable

 

*** shriek missing about 20m on curtain.

 

*** night n gale in lean, but think about the snowpack before setting off up that big gully.

 

*** terzaghi climbed a week ago.

 

overall, the worst condtions i've seen in the bridge in 15 years of climbing out there. crap! i wish the news was better, but...

 

cheers,
