A Precautionary Message

Ice Climbing is extremely dangerous! This blog cannot warn or prepare you for all the hazards that you could experience climbing ice or any other features in the mountains. This blog is only one of the many places where limitless information is available and it certainly is not a substitute for proper training, risk management, judgment, equipment knowledge or wilderness/back country skills. Seek proper training before going ice or rock climbing so that you can stack the odds in your favor. Be safe and have fun out there!

215 Report

Went up to 215 today with Marcus and Jessica.  We found leadable conditions on the trade routes and TRable conditions on some of the taller formations.  Ice seemed to be getting fatter as the day went on.  Rampaging Gumbies seemed to be pretty disconnected at the bottom where it was usually the fattest and the top was a very odd mix of snow and plated ice on top of snow.  No questions that other areas will be in and stay in for the rest of the week, after the snow storm predicted for Monday.
Here is a shot of Jess on Gumbies and the rest of the cliff in the background.
