Alpental conditions

Recommended Posts

headed up to Alpental this am, expecting a day on rock.

 

However, above Source Lake, lower and to the right of Rap Wall, a nice 30m 3+ has formed up into quite climbable shape. The ice is plastic and thick enough to not break picks, but thin enough that there is no ice pro.

 

You can fake it around to the left easy mixed (WI3, 5.7, but almost no pro) in two short pitches to the large tree at top, from which you can TR to route with a 60m rope.

 

The route could be continued above the large tree up a shorter gully to the right, for a full outing.

 

travel in the valley is pretty tough right now, bring snowshoes!
