Late December Conditions

February 10th 2018, Nightfall is in prime condition!

2 pitches. The middle section is steep, but thick. The very top is thin amd hollow. Was sketchy to anchor in. Also, while repelling we dislodged lots of large rock that almost ended poorly for the group ascending the bowl below us. Thankful everyone was okay.

Nightfall. Jan. 9 2010.

Nightfall, January 2018

3/7/20 Lead up Nightfall. Belay position was good to avoid falling dinner plates.

Me showing a little concern with taking the sharp end on the 2nd pitch.

3/7/20 Right side fat ice but left of pine tree climbable

Relief, me at the ridiculously over rigged rappel anchor on Nightfall.

Starting pitch 1.

Nightfall Jan '08 and one month later, in February. A little fatter.

Nigh Fall in 08.

Nightfall from the river February 2016

Nightfall 3/7/20

The view from the start of the 2nd pitch. I roughly followed the snow line on the left. January 2008.

3/7/20 Final moves to setup TR from pine tree. Ice here was hard and clear.

January 9th, 2017. The vertical ice is in, the horizontal ice is not. There is currently a 3 foot gap of open water to clear as an approach pitch!

Some years, this baby doesn't form. 1/07.

Nightfall looks really good this year. January 2008.

01/09/21 Conditions, Following Slavomir, Thin top out on left possible

Its in, and looking good. Jan. 9 2010.

Climbers on Night Fall 1.9.21

January 1, 2012 conditions.

Coreshot rope from rock fall. Climb early on days above freezing. All the small (but sharp) rocks in the back ground came down the shoot. Mostly one at a time every few minutes, but a big release dumped hundreds at once. A good reason to do as one pitch.
