Mazama Ice Climbing?? Hardman?

[telemarker]

Does anyone recognize this ice climb, on or near Goat Wall?

 

 

Also, where's this ice climb (Goat's Beard) on goat wall?

 

 

 

 

How's the ice climbing near Mazama?

Oh, I did find this... Mazama Ice

 

Anyone get on these lately?

Only climbed ice at Mazama once, many years ago. The Standard, and it was in its typical WI3/4 X-rated state. I essentially soloed it dragging a rope for my second (and third). Any screw that went in was totally worthless. It was actually melting out as I was climbing it, but it was still fun (as in trowzer-fillin' excitement) as hell. By the time we finished that, everything else was kaput. We also climbed something that ended in a mineshaft entrance way up high. No idea what that climb was... Haven't been able to make a trip back in years...

 

That first pic looks like The Standard in pretty fat conditions. But like I said above, it's been years.

Thanks for the info. I'm hoping it'll remain a little colder this weekend for a few britches-soiling pitches of ice.

Goats beard is in the middle of Goat Wall, it's fed by a big stand of conifers on a huge ledge 3/4 way up the wall that's pretty hard to miss when there is any ice at all.

Czech and standard got climbed about a week ago but with all the recent snow I'd bet they are either buried or unsafe. Goat was missing a large chunk of the lower section so doubt that it's back in but who know...?

You looking to go this weekend John?
