Post up your info if you got out this weekend! Climbed Hangover on Saturday (along with lots of other people). Found the ice wet, but well formed, and had a great time on it. Road conditions: Really nice, no worries whatever your means of transportation. Now get out there, and stay safe.

alpha and omega: great before 1 pm. slushing out at top after 2 and much of the way down both climbs after 3. but before then, as 'hero' ice as one can hope for! cheers!

Messed around on Mummy 1 on Sunday. The sun come around the corner around 1PM, making for pleasant conditions. Highly recommended for those just starting out! Great for working on your technique, without getting totally pumped. You can scramble up the gully about 100 yds to the right and easily set a top rope. It is fat, and just a little wet in the middle. As for the road.... True you can get anything you want up to the trailhead. Just don't try and pull off the edge in the afternoon! Especially in a low clearance car. We pulled three people out of the ditch. Two on the East Hyalite road, one on the main Hyalite road. The warm weather is making the edges pretty mushey in the afternoon. Bring a tow rope if you have one! Cheers! -Tony
