Trip: Frenchman's Coullee - Frenchman Falls

 

Date: 12/4/2010

 

Trip Report:

Today, Iamgr8r and I headed out to check out Frenchman after seeing Phil's TR and wanting to swing some tools really badly.

It was pretty warm down in the coullee, as compared to the frigid temps on the road due to the wind, and the ice was pretty slushy and sketchy. I lead halfway up and decided I would just set up a TR for Iamgr8r to have a few burns since he's pretty new to ice. We climbed till about 11 and then bailed when the sun came out.

We checked out everything else around, Arctic Grail and Red-whatever and lots of ice was coming down so it probably wont be any fun until we get a few colder days in a row.

Gear Notes:

placed two 10s, a 13, and a 16, used a 22 for the vthread

 

Approach Notes:

that guide book is kinda whack. if you park way up before the feathers its way closer. i dont know if thats private property or something but its definitely way easier than parking near the feathers
