Coleman Headwall this weekend

Anyone interested? Could catch Colin's show before the climb.

 

Send me a pm.

FYI: the left lobe of the Coleman HW is impassable above 9500' as of last week and unlikely it is going to change much as the temps were above freezing since.

We went up the middle icecliff (AI3) for a few pitches to find an abyss on the top of it, then V-threaded the whole thing and rapped down.

The avy chute to the left of the icecliff was producing lethal rock and ice avies on average every half hour. To the right of the icecliff you will find running water over volcanic slab and one inch of rotten ice here and there for 800'.

Man, I was up to try this route this past weekend and will not be back until mid-November. I hope you find someone to go with you.

sweet. Definitely looking warmer than I had hoped, maybe not this weekend, although NOAA forecast calls for it to only be 20 degrees cooler on the summit than it is in Bham, air must be some kind of stagnant.
