I posed an inquiry a couple of days ago about Strawberry Pinnacles conditions. |

My neighbors at Strawberry said the snow pack has been no better there than the Wasatch in Provo and BCC areas. So not much to melt for ice it sounds like:( Thanks for the update... |

Weekend Update: We went to Joe's: |
|
Hanging Slab Gully, Scruffy Band, GWI...not a glimmer. |
|
What ice? |
|
|
|
Anything in the deep canyons of Zion? Assume not. How about Quebec? |
|
Alan, what is the approach for this line on Storm? |

Where the avy debris hits the trail thats where you start going up. There are some details on this site for the route. The ice is quite aerated and is hard to protect. |
|
Alan, how long did it take to climb? What was your total cat to car time? I think I saw you on your last rappel, right before reaching the stream. |
|
Since there is so little going on in Utah right now I thought I would post this. If I offened anyone I am sorry. |

Ice is coming back in Provo Canyon...drove through yesterday and all climbs were starting to reform....Wunderground Weather has a link to a weather station at mile marker 10 in Provo Canyon and it estimates the night time temps for the next 10 days as: 34, 26, 21, 17, 20, 24, 25, 27, 30 and 30. We may get a very exclusive "2015 Limited Season" for those who haven't given up hope just yet. |
|
There is some alpine freeze/thaw ice on both sides of perlas ridge right now. Would be a long hike up there but it might be alright. Very visible from the green a gully. |
|
Anyone been to upper Broad's Fork recently? Saw some interesting pics the other day, taken a few days before (so, probably 4-5 days ago?) |
|
Any updates from provo canyon? Its been cold the last few nights and looks like it be in the 20's for a low down there the next few nights...A freind of mine climbed Frozen In Time in BCC a few days ago. He said it was in decent shape. Seams like we might be getting into our 3rd short ice season around here in northern Utah this year.. |

I drove by on the 22nd and there was just patches of verglas on stairway and bridalveil. |

|
Based on your pictures I have determined it is mid-October in the Wasatch. |
|
More ice than I was expecting to see up there with the weather lately. Looks overcast with a little snow and low temps in the teens the next few days. |
