Where did you take these? |
|
Yeah dude! What's up with the tease and no info?! |
|
Have been there and climbed those. Going out again this week. |

Sorry, my bad i thought the details of where these were got posted. But it got deleted. These are up aspen grove in the primrose cirque. I was up there on my splitboard but the snow sucked. Itll take roughly an hour to an hour and a half to get to the routes from the aspen grove trail head. I was there morning and mid day and the routes rarely saw sunlight- if at all. With clear skies this week, we may get some good melt- freeze cycles up there. So the ice could go either way, fatten up or thin out. |

all the ice is gone from what was in the pictures. It is just too warm. Watched a ton of it fall off yesterday (Friday). We need to get some really cold temps for things to get going again. |

Good update. |
|
I will be heading up there again tomorrow to look and hopefully climb some ice. That would be Friday 11-12-10 |

We were up there Saturday, November 13. |

We were just on a reconnaissance, but I will likely be back next week to climb it. If the weather stays cold, it should be in good condition.Hiked up about 10 this morning and saw a small avalanche that came off a few drainages east of that formation. Big enough to bring some rocks down and do some damage though. Be careful out there. |

Took a shot at the route pictured in this thread and under the right red line on 11/17. (wish i'd seen this pic before 11/17) |

I'm not sure I understand this. A "split" in the trail that takes you into the cirque? The cirque is right on the "main trail." By "main trail" I mean the trail that thousands of people hike every summer to get to emerald lake/timp summit. What split are you talking about? Once you start out from the parking lot, you can follow the main trail all the way to this cirque. cdec wrote:Next mistake, never having been there before we missed the split to the trail that takes you into the cirque and stayed on the main Timp trail. Realizing this non to quickly we backtracked and found the right one. |

I know that thousands of folks do follow the trail each summer and I'm sure that said trail is easier see when lined with people and not buried under snow. Like I mentioned I'd never hiked it before. |
