Comments: WE climbed this route on 4th of July weekend. We had the entire Spanish Creek Valley to ourselves and beutiful weather. I would highly recommend bringing mosquito repellent, long sleeves, and pants for the approach. The mosquitos were absolutely brutal for aprox. the first two miles of the approach. If you cache gear at the base of the climb, be sure to put your gear in stuff sacks (doubled). Marmots tore up our climbing shoes!!! Enjoy.

Snow on Lamb's Slide was consolidated or had sections of loose powder. Wind slab conditions may exist in spots. First couple of pitches on the Smear look thin and desperate.

I saw some nice looking ice/snow gullies forming up on the south face of the Little Matterhorn. P.S. Looking for ice climbing partners interested in slogging/skiing into the Park this se... more >>
