Cpt.Caveman Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 Got really drunk and somehow climbed some ice. Showed up at base of Synchronicity at noon and got most of it done. Bummer about that guy from Bellingham dislocating his shoulder in the approach gully Sounds like he will be all right though. I bet Synchroslurpee will be gone by next weekend unless some cold snap hits. I think my buds climbed Night N Gale yesterday but not sure. Ice got fatter in Marble since last time I was there. Icy BC seemed like it was hard to protect. Saw Forrest and W on it Sunday. I heard Oregon Jack was in but it looked like rain up there yesterday. More Quote
W Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 1st pitch of icy bc was kind of hard to protect- Forrest managed a few pieces but largely had to go for it on hooks in technical chandaliers. This pitch has filled in quite a bit since two weeks ago. Second pitch was dripping wet, very plastic, and not very hard. The third pitch sported some heavy chandaliers, and with the best line being in the center of the pitch, it featured a nice long and sustained steep section, but I found bomber screw placements all the way, and was able to really sew it up. Turned plastic near the top, too. Agree- Synchro's days are numbered unless it freezes, and soon. Gotta hand it to the Captain- party all night, climb all day. I'm not in good drinking shape so I don't know how ya do it, my man. Quote
Lambone Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 Cool, wish I could have been there. Anything else get done? Hopefully it stays cold cause I may head up this weekend with my fiance. It'll be her first time on water ice. I'll make her put the rope up for me on the top pitch of Shriek! Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted February 11, 2002 Author Posted February 11, 2002 I dont know what else got done. I saw one of the flows by Spences Bridges was wet but formed somewhat. Also if it did get cold Honeyman could get formed enough to climb. Right now it is mostly there with large hole in upper part down the middle. Cherry Ice looked in.. Quote
Fromage Posted February 12, 2002 Posted February 12, 2002 Cool, Lambone, maybe I'll see you up there. I'm headed up Friday afternoon with a couple friends. You can spot me easily, I'm the tall goofy guy with beat-up tools who keeps getting his truck stuck in the snow. No ice climbing at the Olympics. Fromage Quote
Szyjakowski Posted February 12, 2002 Posted February 12, 2002 so did the skinnie lurch and the jap die on night an gale or did they float down on some receding outwash melt in their waders??? cavie...just how many beers did you drink and what the fuk about spoiling the lush indoor eastside private club..shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Quote
Crack Posted February 12, 2002 Posted February 12, 2002 hey ben -it's JAPanese...a dirtbag's gotta have some standards. night'n'gale was way fat and friendly(easy 4), a good/lucky day as it was very warm. crossed the river easily on a log bridge. is that shriek of the sheep to the left a few hundred yards? big, blue curtain. capricorn looked a little too holey for us, another cold snap might make it good to go.

Lambone Posted February 12, 2002 Posted February 12, 2002 Yes, thats the Shriek. It's not as far up there as it looks, the approach is pretty mellow. But its also a big avy gully. Nice job James! Quote
