Paul_detrick Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 We do not even have snow, been way warm and forcast is for more of the same.. Will post if any shows up.. Quote
anikoy Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Hi, Any news about the current ice conditions? Thanks. Quote
Paul_detrick Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Nothing there yet, maybe if these temps. hold out.. Quote
Paul_detrick Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Ice starting to come in, climbed first pitch of clockwork orange thin but doable,,punchbowl is allmost there but big deathsicles, if it stays cold could get good. Quote
Bob Loomis Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Dear All, I was out at Banks yesterday (5 January) and things are coming in. The Punch Bowl, PeeWee's Playground, even the Cable, were in adequate climbing shape. The problem is the current NOAA forcast shows a warming trend this coming week--supposed to be in the high 30s F out there and raining by mid-week, then it gets cold again. So it is possible that what is in right now might fall down by mid-week. But if the forecast is wrong, etc., then next weekend things could be pretty good. Cheers, Bob Loomis, Spokane, WA Quote
dave schultz Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Tuesday's temps will probably play havoc on all our hopes for ice ... Quote
Paul_detrick Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Went and checked thinks out today, not too bad with the temps we had. Nothing is really in but lots of lines forming. Punchbowl will go, H2O2 is down but in rough shape. Shitting razorblades is looking great. If it dont get to warm will be good soon. Paul Quote
coldiron Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Climbed Banks yesterday. I believe we were in the Peewee's Playground area. Lots of ice is coming in. A few things are in now, with a lot of climbs wet or almost touching down. With continued cold temps I expect it should be fantastic this weekend. I'm going out again tomorrow and will post an update. H2O2 looked climbable, but a bit discontinuous and thin. apparently it got climbed Sunday and there was a fatality. Quote
montypiton Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 as of Saturday, 1/19, most lines still look pretty dry. we settled for two quickies in Pee Wee's Playhouse area, but wished we'd stayed around the Icicle Canyon. Quote
Skatan Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Went over for the weekend with Joe 19/20th, and got a chance to climb with Bob who drove out each day. We heard Shitting Razorblades was in and since Joe had done it last time it was in we figured it was a good place to start. Being a trio we climbed it in three pitches Joe got us started 1st pitch I got 2nd pitch Bob coming up pitch 2 Bob on pitch 3 I was last to rap while I was coming down Bob and Joe were already scoping out a line to the left off of second tier. Joe decided to giver fun line to end a great day on! Sunday we finished off the trip at Pee Wee's What a fun weekend good ice and great partners! Edited January 21, 2013 by Skatan Quote
Alex Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 nice strong send on both counts, thats a hard route! the thing to the left is an FA afaik, do you want to provide some naming and info for posterity? Quote
Paul_detrick Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Climbed Cowgirls, golfcourse route today, was fun in great shape. Started raining as we were leaving, lots to climb, better hurry.. Quote
Skatan Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Any word on conditions? Things better, worse or same? Thanks Jason Quote
powderhound Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) think the cable got led yesterday and H202 Edited January 29, 2013 by powderhound Quote
wayne Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Does anyone think these routes will be in this weekend? I would love a shot at Razorblades. and Cable Quote
kurthicks Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 38F in leavenworth. Routes at Dog dome were still pretty dry. sunny routes were hurting a good bit more. Watch the temps and see what happens! Quote
Paul_detrick Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Went and did some laps after work on clockwork orange,, ice is fat and plastic, was about 34.. Everything seemed to be good..stays cold at nite i think it will be ok.. Quote
Skatan Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Was out on Thursday climbed a plastic H202 then drove over to check out Clockwork Orange only to find the second pitch had fallen off. I remembered reading something about Moses Coulee being in so we decided to go check it out. Climbed Sundance Kid the ice was pretty rotten neat setting. Edited February 2, 2013 by Skatan Quote
Skatan Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Besides "Chucky" any word on how the ice is holding up? Thanks Quote
Vernman23 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Highly doubt that anything worth climbing is left. Go to Vantage and rock climb. Quote
