iamgr8er Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Here are some pic's of CYA and the dry tool wall. Everything was covered in snow making the dry tool wall tricky. The ice is not in, if your in the mood for placing pro, but ice all the way up (thin, thin, thin). Quote
dbb Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 cya looks to be in about the same shape as the last time I climbed it. Quote
nhk75 Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 WOW, I am not sure where you guys were, but the ice was phat yesterday and we climbed all day from 9am until dark. It was thin a couple of spots, but we had no problems with ice screws and had a great day. Maybe you should actually climb there before making comments? Quote
nhk75 Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Time to get off the dry tool wall and put your big boy pants on! Â Quote
G-spotter Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 It was thin a couple of spots, but we had no problems with ice screws and had a great day. Time to get off the dry tool wall and put your big boy pants on!  That's pretty big talk for three pictures of toproping   Quote
nhk75 Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) We free soloed to get the top ropes in place...Not me but my crazy partner...some of the best conditions at exit 38 we have seen in a long time... Edited November 27, 2010 by nhk75 Quote
jpark42 Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 It was thin a couple of spots, but we had no problems with ice screws and had a great day. Â Last time I checked you don't use ice screws while soloing..... Quote

Â And why in the HELL are you free soloing to set up top ropes. Kind of defeats the purpose.... Quote
Edlinger Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 I think I recognize mr. blue gaiters and orange tools. He hikes routes.. often solo. Quote
Vernman23 Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Pretty thin today and warm. Probably not much time left there after today. Was about 34 and snowing at 7:30 this morning... Quote
wayne Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Dittos to that, thanks Vern and Dan for the tr privileges. Quote
Dane Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Bit wet later today. Several big dumps that came as a surprise from high on the wall and would have easily killed anyone below them. Â Likely Colin and Mark got the last climb in late this morning until we get another hard freeze out there. The ice is currently just a few hundred feet below the snow line. If it will get down below freezing the next few days we'll have a great start on the next ice build up. Â It is still Nov after all Quote
rocketparrotlet Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 We were on the main ice flow on CYA today, it was in pretty good shape in the morning and the ice was decently solid, but the day started to heat up in the afternoon and it all started collapsing. It's not a good idea to climb it until it freezes again. Quote
Mercyful Fate Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 First off I apoligize for my newbe friend who just started climbing 2 months ago.I just saw this. he went with us and just hungout on ground with camera. I dont know why he feels the need to spray. Thier was no soloing going on. Thankfully that crag has mellow hike around.TR anchors are setup on many trees on top with fixed biners. Thats what me and friend that climbed that day did. Crag was in great shape that day. as far as I know the line on right ( the TR photos) has no FA. is this true? it would be a great line. stout start to fat ice. hopefully another cold snap happens soon. this crag is great when its in!
