Things have changed, Tami. New bolts, new stations, a missing tree, staples - most of the evidence points in one direction.

Forgive me this re-post from my thread.

But I thought this thread deserved a bump.

Mike, how is the climbing weather up there this time of year. We have been getting some 50 degree days up here occasionally.

Mike, it's been pretty cold in the valley but dry and the friction is excellent I hear. I managed to get up Blackcomb mountain twice last week and do some climbing in the enjoyably inverted temps in the alpine.

The first day was only +5c to +10c at most but the second day was a stunner and temps soared on the rock in the glorius sun to almost +20 at one point. Climbing in t-shirts and base layers.

Unusual conditions for so late in the year, but we do typically see this cold high pressure system push up the coast at some point early in the new year so i guess it's just early this year.

It was a treat for sure.

Tami- Nah you gotta have a pass to get up there anyways, so as long as it isn't avy closure it's good to go. We hiked from crystal chair the first day, and the second day was pretty much fully lift accessed with glacier chair open so only a short hike up spankys was required.

Mike- Definetly worth a visit!

A photo essay of one of my favorite days of ice climbing of all time. It starts out with a 2000 foot decent in to a canyon on the Clarks Fork river. You then walk a half mile down stream along ice shelfs over the river then climb the 4 pitch route up the other side. You then have to rap the route and climb out of the canyon. You can even do another pitch on the other side on the way out.
