Does anybody know the mixed rating of the line that goes from the bottom of the second pitch of the GWI to the rappel anchors pn the ledge? Right where you rap down? There is a manky old pin where the ice meets the rock |
|
Climbed in Provo Canyon today...Stairway is still in. |
|
GWI conditions - Hall and Oats. |
|
CCC and Donorcicle were in good shape friday. |
|
Sat 12-28 ACT is in good and steep, Candlestick Fat top out is super thin to nonexistant be super careful would not be a good whip! Angel of Fear does not touch:) |
|
Clay, |
|
Just remember there are some killer bowls above Squashed Head and Backoff that are great shape for ripping out. I have seen Squashed Head horking big time. |
|
Thanks Clay for the photo and the decent prospective, much appreciated! |

The stuff out in Strawberry is Huge. We climbed a huge pillar in Timber canyon that is over 100 ft. tall, I think it might be Excalibur- definitely WI5. We hunted down 4 other climbs in that canyon (Timber) and looked at the HUGE climbs behind the home further down the main road, but could not figure out how to access those. |

|
Does anyone have recent info about ice conditions around Provo? Pics would be even better! Thanks! |

Strawberry Pinnacles Excalibur WI5 2/09/12
Drool all you want. This is what Thomas, Dan and I found in Strawberry Pinnacles today 2/09/12. Is this motivation enough to get in touch with Thomas, to go help him get his tool back? |

Went down to Joe's Valley today and climbed CCC Falls and the Donorcicle. Both are in fantastic shape, with just the far thin right curtain of the upper pitch of CCC Falls having dropped off. Saw the Pricecicle on the way down and it is pretty monstrous. Filthy looking but very large. |

The climb in Mooner's photo is Excalibur WI5. Super fun pillar. |

In reality Nathan it is not Excalibur. We did go to Excalibur but were chased off the land by some guy with a camera saying he was going to call the sheriff for trespassing. For the record we didn't have our ice gear with us and went and knocked on the land owners door first then went back to look at it. So the moral of the story is call before attempting Excalibur. The land owner ( or at least his neibors) seems very protective of it |
