ARob Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 My girlfriend and I are heading up to Leavenworth for Thanksgiving and will be up there Thurs - Sun. I am wondering if A) Is anything looking like it's going to be in. It looks like good temps through the weekend. B) If anyone is going to be around who would like to venture out with us. Upfront: We have minimal WI experience, but a good deal of alpine experience. We got all the gear and plenty of stoke though! Quote
yasso1am Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 No idea on the conditions. If someone has a positive forecast though I would be happy to come down and climb with you guys. Cheers. Quote
Sol Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 A. not yet, but cross your fingers its cold over here B. not me Quote
Captain panther Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 I might be there sunday. pm me with a number and i'll call you guys if i show up sunday. theres lots of good alpine stuff coming in though Quote
ARob Posted November 24, 2010 Author Posted November 24, 2010 Right on, glad to hear some others are interested in heading out. Thanks for the heads up Sol. We are driving up this afternoon, then we'll do a little scout mission tomorrow before gorging ourselves upon the bounty of ma's cooking. I'll report back what I find here. Everyone drive safe this weekend. Quote
ARob Posted November 28, 2010 Author Posted November 28, 2010 Sorry I didn't post back sooner. Did a little recon earlier this weekend and saw that Hubba Hubba did not look solid enough. Needs a little more thawing and freezing. Drury and the Pencil look like they will be coming in soon though, at least the view from the road made it look so. But if you are planning on heading to Leavenworth now for ice, my amatuer perspective would not recommend it. I very much welcome second opinions. Had a fun day of poaching Steven's though, pretty decent coverage for opening soon hopefully. Was snowing pretty hard when we left too. Quote
telemarker Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) My friend Stewart and I climbed Rainbow Falls yesterday. Mushy ice, but still climbable and fun. We then scampered up to Hubba Hubba, which is in great shape, and took excellent screws. The second pitch looked to be soft ice over slab, so we didn't bother.

tanstaafl Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 The Chandelier also is in, but the climbs up Mountaineer Creek are not. Quote
