John Frieh Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Trip: Cody - Carter Mtn Date: 11/15/2008 Trip Report: South Fork Love baa baa baa baa baa Gear Notes: 1.99/gallon from ID -> WY Approach Notes: Many many thanks to Aaron Mulkey of Core Mtn Sports in Cody for all the beta, info and updates. If you're in town drop in and spend some $$$ in his shop! Support the guy that checks conditions weekly and installed most of the anchors out there! Quote
John Frieh Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 Toes did great though w/ temps in the high 20s I dont know if it was a true test of function. Still... great to log day 2 on ice Quote
ivan Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 jesus god, the rock wall at the summit looks fawking hawt - i assume ya'll just did the ice floes though? Quote
John Frieh Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 Only ice on this trip... but since you asked the south fork has a few unclimbed choss mountains... real big ones in fact... Quote
billcoe Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 OMG- real climbing! Good on ya for getting on something cool lookin. If you were to follow Ivans suggestion and finish the top out on the rock after climbing the gully ice, what kind of vertical foot day would that represent? My quads are shaking and cramping just thinking of it:-) Conditions looks pretty sweet. Quote
John Frieh Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 From where you park I'd estimate ~1500 -> 2000' give or take. But to stay consistent with Cody ratings I'd say 500' of 3rd and 4th class and maybe some WI2. :laf: Cody: full value ratings. The way it should be. Quote
kevino Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 John, Looks life fun. Hopefully another trip it'll workout. T-minus ten days before I'm on ice! Quote
marc_leclerc Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Nice, its like 1000 degrees up in Canada right now... pretty lame Quote
John Frieh Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 You been watching gravsports? Though not an awesome kickoff to the season you guys definitely have some ice... Quote
