    Great write up JoJo.  I have tried to get in an do this twice, but both times the going was much slower than what you described to our lack of conditoning but more likely 6-12 inches of snow on the ground.  Took the gear for a long walk both times and never got  it out of the pack.  I need to get back and do this one though.

  • Looking for experienced ice climbers   4 weeks 6 days ago

    Hello again,

    I made that first post quite a while ago, and nobody has replied.  I want to see one last time if anyone is available this weeked to interview about their perceptions of climate change.  It would be about 30 minutes or so, and could be done over the phone or skype.  I would really appreciate any response, even written would be a great help.  Thank you for your time.

    Better info here than what is found in Winter Dance.

    I was up last weekend with a group (as the photogrpaher). The ice is in good shape (better in the middle and to the right) and both sets of bolts looked good. 

    The shots I took are online here:

    The last shot shows the right anchors well.

    Hello All,

    On sunday, my partners and I walked over a pretty big debris field just to the right of Cleo's, and saw the debris of another slide in a neighboring gully. Also, we witnessed several point-release slides.

    Carry avi gear and be cognizant of the terrain that you are on.
