bryce398 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I was thinking about going up to Rainier and top rope soloing Ricksecker point AKA the Blue Room. I was wondering if any one has checked out the Ice there this year or been there in the past and what they thought of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5.12Dreamer Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 This is perhaps not too helpful but something 'til you hear more: I was in the park on New Year's (an infamous day). From the Stevens Canyon Road, at the 90 degree bend to Reflection Lakes, you can see the cliff from a distance. But I'm not sure if you can see The Blue Room from there? I noted from this considerable distance, a fair amount of ice, though nowhere near climable then. To give it a ROM, I would say what I was looking at was half formed then--not even top-ropeable but offering promise if conditions continued in the right direction. Since then it got warmer, then it got quite a bit colder and wetter--so maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 There is going to be a ton of new snow there too. I want to try Strobach, but I think everything is a wallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
