Trip Report:Vantage ice condition- actic grail

ON the way home from Hyalite (T/R pending on that trip) we decided to stop in Vantage and have a look around.

 

No ice on Fuggs

A little itty-bitty on Red Rain

Frenchmen's needs a few more days

 

Arctic Grail . . . not the full 75ft, but we got on it anyway

 

 

up close it looks like this. The lower 30ft is in

Me running out of ice and having no rock pro. . . not that it would have have mattered.

And Brandon following

The pro was little to none, but the ice was good. if the cold weater continues, someone might get up Frenchmen's soon. Its ice season!!!!! -sick

 

Gear Notes:

Placed one 13, one 10, and managed to get a 16 in for a vthread

 

Approach Notes:

Wait until no one is looking. . . jump the fence and run!

(dont get caught with your pants down)
