wayne Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Sweet, I always liked that route name. Did it live up to it? Quote
genepires Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 that is probably the best condition it has formed in a long long time! Where is all the snow on the face? I guess lots of rain is good for WA ice. go figure. Quote
jstreet Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 The climb wasn't as Death Picnic'y as normal I assume but the ice was very very hollow, icicle fest with lots of snice... lowest quality protection, on average, of any route I can remember leading... photos don't really tell the whole story.
