You should be good to go Sally. It's fat. |
|
The Shroud is good to go, there are some solar issues in the afternoon and that is obvious by the huge rock fall on the bike path. |
|
Tony's Nightmare has a ton of loose snow (thigh deep) covered in wind slabs just above the ice on the second pitch. Watch out there ... |
|
Looks great! Thanks all. |
|
Though generally regarded as having no avy danger, there have been at least a couple of avalanche accidents on the Shroud over the years that I am aware of including one fatality. There is apparently a hidden slope that feeds into it. |
|
Anyone been on north star lately? |
|
How's Stairway to Heaven in Eureka looking? |
|
Stairway's good to go though not as fat as one would expect based on everything else. |
|
Boulder Canyon ice, lower falls is virtually nonexistent. |
|
Squid is alive and well, although probably not for long. It's hooked out, "thick" ice to the ground, consensus is about 5+ right now. Everything else up there is severely delaminated. Tentacle goes, for now. Calamari is out. |

Any ice in Rifle? Would love to get on some frozen pillars of goodness. |
|
I drove by Coors Lite on Thursday. Despite the warm temps of last week, it looks fat and in good shape. |

Although it changes very guickly, Glenwood Falls was in for Jeremy Joseph and me 2 days ago. Better conditions than we expected, and quite safe it seemed, as long as one is off by 10:30 AM or so. |

Jaws is out for now. Cracked the whole way across (even the low angle stuff on the left). |
|
Jewel Lake (RMNP) |
|
Climbed the first two pitches of Three Tiers (Tenmile Canyon) today. The ice itself was decent, but the snow conditions were just about too dangerous. |
|
How is snow conditions on AMU. Thinking about heading up Friday but with this new snow I'd love some opinions. |
