JensHolsten Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi guys- A friend and I climbed the NBC on Colchuck on Sunday. We found it to be in awesome shape. The first half of the route was characterized by super fun steps of ice and mixed climbing. We punched steps up beautiful crisp snow on the upper half. If temps stay low and no storms roll in, this route should remain in shape (maybe even get better) through the weekend. I thought it was the most fun fall ice route I've done in the range. There is lots of ice around the range, although it seemed to thin/young (to me) for hard and steep climbing. It seems to be the easier routes shape up best in the fall. The ice is thin, but the climbing low angle enough to deal with it. I would suspect the NE Coulior on Argonaut, the NE Coulior on Sherpa, and the NE Coulior of D-tail could all be good to go right now. Get some!!
