Dribbles

We climbed the Dribbles last Sunday.  It was in good shape but it was pretty warm that day so things may have deteriorated.  Thanks to the ice fest it was a busy day up there with at least 4 rope teams climbing it with others moving on to Silken.  We were first up so we rapped Avalanche Gully which was trying to live up to its name.  Fortunately it never cut loose.

Thanks again to the guy from Billings that picked up our screamer and mailed it to me. 

What's the word on the Scepter and Cleo's? 

Conditions are super fat and easy  right now (1/6/11). As is probably the norm there are V-threads all over the climb. The triply redundant one at the headwall looks like a headache waiting to happen - right in the line of fire for falling ice.

Cheers,
