Found an ice screw on the descent from GWI on Saturday night (2/8), around 8pm. I had talked to a guy from Georgia at the base whose partner lost a helmet on P2 - might this be yours? Message me with a description and I'll get it back to you. |

Bridal Veil truly shit itself this weekend. Interested to see how this snowpack heals in the coming weeks. |

It should also have red plumbers tape on the top of the hanger that sez 17 cm. If that's what you have and you believe it's mine, how I go about getting it from you (thanks much. Warbonnet |

Anyone lose one? I feel like a golden retriever. ;) |

Did NOT lose a walkie talkie......I'd fire it up and talk with whoever/whatever's at the end. |

How is the ice in the Wasatch? Guessing it's in rough shape after all the rain and warmth... |

Just got back into SLC and haven't had the chance to look at anything firsthand. GWI conditions - melty mess or climbable? How about anywhere else in the Wasatch? |
|
Climbed all of the GWI on Saturday, conditions were good. The snow was hard packed, which makes me think that conditions on the North East face of Storm Mountain would be good as long as you get an early start. |
|
Anyone take a look at joes valley? Anyone think it would be good after the cooler weather comes in this weekend? |

My worst ice season! This has never happened: zero outings here in the west, and zero on the east coast. High temps and snow loads, missed opportunities, in the wrong place at the wrong time, bolstered with some laziness, all conspiring to shut me out. the only ice my tools saw was breaking the roof's pile of frozen drip off the cabin decked. Sad. Sad. Lucky the skiing and kiteboarding has eased the depression or I'd just turn in my tools. On the bright side I may get some rock climbing in, in March!... |

Hey Ron, if you're looking to get some vertical traveling in, and you don't mind warm rock with spring-like temperatures (some serious suffering, in other words), AND you're still here in UT, hit me up and we'll go get some mileage in on good 'ol granite. It's white, like ice. If you don't have my contact info anymore shoot me a message on MP. |
|
Mine too! 2 outings. Kind of unbelievable. |
|
Went to Joe's for a scout outing, checked out the ice while I was there. Donor has a fracture that is almost a foot gap where the pillar separates from the rock. CCC is missing the tops of every pitch. A final indicator, I counted 17 cars with bouldering pads. |
