webnick2007 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) I hadn't heard of anyone climbing this stuff and saw it for the first time while on a long ski tour. It looks like there are full-pitch ice routes in the narrow slots above Snow Lake, Alpental, WA, at the steeper south part of the lake. I also saw some terraced climbs in a wide pour 500ft above the lake at the west-most part of the lake. The easiest way in would definitely be to Source Lake (45min), over the 4200' saddle and down to Snow Lake (35 min), and a hoof along the lake (20min). The second, higher falls are even past Chair Peak and that ridge. Git Some! Google: Lake Front: 4300' Ice Pours: Edited January 24, 2011 by webnick2007 Quote
bigeo Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 When were those pics taken? I saw those flows a few weeks ago on a tour around Chair Pk and will be surprised/excited to hear that they are still in after the big thaw. Quote
webnick2007 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 Jan 23, yesterday... Pretty sweet eh?! It looked wet (and blue) but the rampy like stuff looked thick enough? I didn't see dripping in that tight slot and that looked thick enough for screws; it was more white. I didn't get close enough to tap on anything though. Quote
Peakpimp Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Those flows were in fat when I toured that basin a couple of weeks ago and I was very curious what anyone knew about them. Quote
