Dru Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Lyle sez there were 3 cars in the parking lot on Sun (incl. Garry Brace) and a solid sheet of ice from Icy Bc to Dihedral thanks to the ice farmers. 3rd pitch icy Bc was still open and spewing. But I bet it all falls down again now with the warm rain.

CascadeClimber Posted December 9, 2002 Author Share Posted December 9, 2002 and a solid sheet of ice from Icy Bc to Dihedral thanks to the ice farmers. That pretty much changes the nature of No Deductible. I wonder if this practice will someday be regarded like chipping holds on rock routes. But I guess trapsing all over those trails in crampons has a significant effect on the runoff pattern, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolt_clipper Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 FUUUUUCK! Hopefully when I get back from my parents' place at the beginning of Jan something will have formed up. This was the wrong winter to try to start ice climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoboy Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 That [ice farming] pretty much changes the nature of No Deductible. I wonder if this practice will someday be regarded like chipping holds on rock routes. Probably not since the effects of farming aren't permanent. :timmy I need rolleyes back!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fern Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 I drove the full Hwy1/Hwy99 loop today. fun way to put 750km on my truck. Climbed a bit at Marble Canyon. IMO everything to the right of Waite for Spring is not in safe shape yet. VERY thin and wet. Not much ice worth putting a scroo in. Middle and upper tiers spewing. No Deductible hasn't been farmed. The 'new' lines are between NoD and Deeping Wall and right of Waite for Spring. Fraser Canyon south of Lytton no ice no surprise. Honeyman Falls no. Seton weeps dry. Synchronicity approach gully dry, first pitch mostly dry, upper pitches looked continuous but barely any ice. Loose lady similar. Carl's Berg looked wet but starting to come in.Duffey Lake road is not well ploughed yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
