Rocky Mtn Front Ice

   I was just up there and I didnt go to any previously climbed stuff so I can't report on that., kinda just looking for some new stuff and all the roads into the mountains were clear, but some were icy because it rained on Wednesday.   A few drifts but nothing that would stop a suby.  We found 2 new climbs and they were both solidly in, the ice was somewhat brittle with big chuncks coming off when we climbed.  There was hardly any snow on the approaches.  One was about ten miles up the road to Teton pass on the left as you are heading into the mountains in a ravine, its about 120 - 140 ft with 3 pitches of WI3 maybe.  If you go there, approach on climbers left the right gets closed out by gnar cliffs and rockfall from above.    The other was in Dupuyer up the swift dam road you go all the way to the dam and drive up to the lake on a kind of rough road and you can see the big icefall about a mile up the mountain to the right.  Its about 60 ft of WI3 and has a tree to rappel off the top.  We are going to put some photos together with some posts after we find a few more to put up as well.  It was also REALLY windy, like hard to stand so anything with snow is pretty sketch.

this is the first one, we called it Big Cheese after the guy that told us there was no ice here, from the road we saw it from.
