bcollins Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Wondering what others think about this present season. I think there will be awesome opportunities for alpine routes if this dry season cont. to develop as predicted. Stuart, D-tail, etc. may be possible with primo mixed conditions..........imagine the ice that'll form in Triple Couliours and other No. facing routes. There will be snow soon, but approaches may be firm and doable. Any other route suggestions or thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Some alpine routes rely on the snow to melt over rock slabs to form the ice. I'd hate to drytool the Triple Couloirs blank rock slabs. But if you like that sort of stuff go for it right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
