Fang is still up, passed it about 10 minutes ago |
|
I was there yesterday and didn't see anything. The road was being plowed clear down to the dirt all the way to the summer parking lot, so if it was dropped along there it got pushed off to the side. |

Martha's good but crowded today, although we all seemed to stay out of each other's way for the most part. |

Long's Peak, 5/9/15.
I caught this view of Longs this morning, looking rather Scottish at the moment. In less than 10 min, the clouds moved in again. |

Top of Martha Couloir on MLW.
Climbed Martha yesterday, here's a pic from the top of the couloir on our way to the summit of MLW with an icy Diamond in the background. It is very much winter still in RMNP. Would have been a great day to be on the powder boards on the North face of Longs or some other objective. We dispatched of the ice with one long 70m pitch and wallowed through knee-deep snow at beginning and end. The ice lead was one of the wildest I've had due to crazy spindrift. I even thought of myself as kind of a hard man for a few minutes... This climb will be prime after the next melt-freeze cycle. Just past the last ice crux. |

Lincoln falls as seen from Hoosier. Haven't decided if it's ice or a mirage. |

For what it's worth

Hmm...I wonder if it's Dreamweaver or TFD time yet? Looks like the warm-up this coming week could make things there just right... |
|
We need a freeze bad |

What are peoples thoughts for avy danger RMNP this weekend? Looks like it's been a while since snow has fallen, not much freezing going on though. |
