Climbed scruffy band on thursday, the ice is good, a little thin in places. There is a nice V-thread about 50' up.
Also climbed a little on the Fang in Provo canyon yesterday(saturday), the ice is filling in nice. There is still running water on the top pitch, doesn't look like it can be climbed without getting drenched. |

Really? What about the pics Mooner submitted of the Donorcicle Dec 19th? seems like it should be much fatter after the weather we've been getting... |

Hey Kevin,
It was super cool to climb with you, I had a blast. This week would be a great week to see if those drips in the Boise area are in. It was -7*F at my house last night.
Keep in touch.

| Got up Miller's Thriller today. Coverage is good, but the ice is still a bit funky. Rotten chandeliers covered with a frozen layer of snow/ice. Hopefully the milder temps next week will provide some TLC for the ice.

| Made it down to Maple last weekend. The main canyon has most of it routes in (up to Box Canyon - didn't go any higher)>
Ran some laps on running man. It is thin up top, if you look close you can see where I kicked through the ice, and had to mix it out through the top.
Box still need more time to come in (I didn't go super high up).
The road has seen some snowmobile traffic but, there is no chance of getting a car up there. It took us about 30-40 minutes to boot pack it in there.

| In case anyone was wondering most of Provo Canyon is in. Bridal Veil Right is in good shape. Bridal Veil left was doing a lot of settling and weird ice formation.
White Nightmare was also looking thick.
The first couple pitches of Stairway are also in and thick. |

| Storm Mountain Falls is in, takes 13s and an occasional 16cm all the way up. First pitch is steep!
Get on it quick, as it may not last past the weekend. First pitch was pretty drippy by the time we got back down.

| Climbed Miller's today. The whole thing is in great shape. Found some gear on the climb. PM me with the gear you're missing if you'd like it back! P1 of The Fang is real wet...P2 is climbable but 50% ice / 50% waterfall. |

| Can anyone tell me what the waterfall area is called about 1 mile up the Provo BST, heading around to the west face of Cascade? You take a spur off the BST and head up the mountain to get to the waterfall. If you know the area can tell me if there are any bolts or is the pro all screws and v-threads?
Thanks |

The area I'm talking about is an actual waterfall, and not just a drainage. Here is a picture from a hundred yards away.

| Just went to Joe's for two days, conditions are great! Should still be good by the weekend, and hopefully longer!
(Original pics aren't sideways, mp flipped them for some reason)
CCC is in, top curtain is in fat (was a little wet at 4pm), no pics!
Donorcicle is in fat, cauliflower hookfest almost all the way up
Pillar on the right was a firehose
Climbed Bushdiver, lived up to its name...but definitely in fat- notably 2 columns around WI3
Deadbolt is also in all the way, we only did the first ~60' column but I'd suppose the rest is also in (approach was wet though!)
Amphitheater is almost in, getting a lot of sun, and Wolfenstein is definitely NOT in
Go get it! |

| Climbed on the Scruffy Band today in LCC. Great conditions with thick ice up the middle of the main scruffy band. The WI 4 pillar at the top is in good fat conditions as well.

| Next stop Utah! But for the moment here is some of New Hampshire's ice this season, if your out this way. Could be a phat season.
| Falls area north of N Conway, discovered by George Hurley (WI 3+/4+). I think visiting Jeff Lowe put up an M8 on opposite wall. Fun day of cragging; 1.5 mi gentle hike in.

Uhh, you meant WI 3 pillar...ha ha.
WI3 - generally sustained in the 60-70 degree range with occasional near-vertical steps up to 4 metres
WI3: Sustained 70 degree with possible long bulges of 80-90 degrees; reasonable rests and good stances for placing screws.
3. Sustained 70 - 80 degres ice, usually thick and solid. May
contain short, steep sections, but will have good resting
places and offer good protection and belays.
The steep bit on that pillar is maybe 6-8 feet long? |

| Of course none of that applies to Cody WY or Bozeman MT. They seem to make up their own scale. I climbed a WI 2+ in Cody and the book said it was, "Not worth the hike".

Ya, it's hard to say looking at the pic, and not being on the pillar, but it looks 3ish at the moment to me. I just did a 20ft narrow WI3+ pillar out here in the east that was 80+ degrees, and a dead vertical WI4 with 20+ft sections, and would say they looked harder than the Scruffy pillar pic. Just the same it looks like a fun airy climb, and I hope its up when I get out there later this month. |
