Cds26 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Looking at the forecast this week, it looks like rain saturday, but sunday is nice. I'm not from Leavenworth, but I know the rock stays pretty dry and dries quickly. Is it likely the Snow Creek Wall could dry before afternoon?

telemarker Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I just saw it yesterday. There's still about 2 feet of snow and rime ice covering the entire face. Check back in June. Feel free to share my response to everyone you know in the Seattle metro area and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaleHoopes Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Rime ice? Grab the tools and lets go mixed climbing! Â Ticks require different tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 If I pull on an in situ tick to get through the crux, is that aid or a feature of the route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfire Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Was on the wall today. While tick checks with your significant other could lead to a romantic evening, I would recommend shaving yourself clean head to toe and wearing a Mr Clean outfit on Snow Creek wall right now. We ran out of there after one route while swatting ourselves silly. Â The dudes having the epic on the wall are surely anemic by now.

Eric K Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Any chance the amount of ticks per square foot has gone down yet? Really want to get out there but don't feel like brushing ticks off me every few minutes. Â Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lemke Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I did Outer Space on May 3rd and the ticks were not too bad. Every once in awhile I would pull one off my foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montypiton Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) climbing around Goat Dome on May 5, my partners and I cleaned off about a dozen or so ticks apiece for the day. With snow barely gone, tick season is really just getting started... but SCW has a less brushy approach, so perhaps less exposure to ticks... just have your partner go first!
