thejeep Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 can any one point me in the right direction as to where this tennessean can find some ice to climb arround on? Any water ice left this time of year? We just moved to welches (mt hood) and i work 1 week on, one off, so I have some time if a drive or trek in were involved. thanks in advance peyton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine-iac Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Sorry to say mate but there is very little ice in this state. Water ice comes and goes as fast as the weather changes here. Some alpine ice can be found, but for the most part you should just substitute "alpine ice" for "water ice" in my second sentence. But if you've got the time I'd have a look up at Hood on your days off and if its clear go for a quick jaunt and see what's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinB Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Drive to Banff/Canmore. Its an hour more than Bozeman and well worth that hour. Locally, there's ice off of Cooper Spur but its a long walk for something that is probably buried by new snow now. The north face gullies are probably more snow than ice now, even when it is ice, the ice isn't harder than 3/3+. If mixed is your game, there's plenty of climbing on Illumination Rock but its all trad protected. The rime on I-Rock should survive at least until the end of this month. I hear rumors of ice out in NE Oregon but there's no official guide to the area or any such. Good luck out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
