Trip: Hyalite Canyon -

 

Date: 12/5/2010

 

Trip Report:

Me, Pacman and his Wife took a trip out to Bozeman last week, we were going to check out some other area's besides Bozeman but the ice was everywhere. We started out on the unamed wall. All of the ice in the canyon is in FAT! Perfect conditions and bluebird skys for some of the trip. The first day we warmed up on the Fat one and then did the Elevator Shaft and the Thrill is Gone.

Day two we climbed Upper Green Sleeves, the right variation of Upper Green Sleeves and the Hangover. Green sleeves had some rolling hills of WI thrown in to make the climb a little bit longer which was nice. Hangover also had a little chunck of vertical ice up above the normal section which was doable with a 60.

Day three was kindof a rest day with some climbin on G1 and a cool dry-tool route on the right of G1 which was probably a M6/7.

Day four was great, we all got to snag a good lead which made it an awesome day for all of us. The Sceptor was our first climb, it was in really good conditions. The Matrix is in rediculously awesome shape protectable with screws even on the bottom section Pacman was in for a sick lead with a bunch of spindrift. Then His wife put up Crypt Orchid which is a cool alpine-like line.

Day five we hit the jackpot and got on a real classic, in my oppinion. The Dribbles DON'T overlook this one, a real bang for your buck. Plus on the decent you can rap Avalanch gully so you even get to squeeze in some good recon.

Avi gulch looked like it was in really good conditions, the crux pillar was touching go get her while it's protectable without rock pro. Cleos was in pretty nice, at least it looked like it from the other side of the valley.
