Mission Ice and finley update

Submitted by Iceman on Sat, 11/26/2005 - 17:37
I was wondering if anybody has been up to mission falls. If you have, how is the ice? Is the ice bridge in yet? Also I went up to Finley on friday the 25th. The ice is forming but needs more time. Thing in Between has a base going but not quite ready. Weedeater is barly even an ice sickle. Graineater could be climbed if you are in for some mixed and skechy early season ice. There is a few large ice formations forming in the daggers area. Basically the whole area needs more time for developement do to the inversion.

Went to Finley Creek on Monday, 12/12 and most climbs are in good shape. Weedeater looked big, Graineater was extremely fat. The first pitch even has ice all the way down. I also went to Mission falls yesterday 12/14. The road is fine, trail packed, and the ice bridge is strong. Lots of ice to climb... Dan

I've never seen finley in this kind of condition. Fox's corner is COMPLETELY in. Climbed it thursday without needing any rock pro. Really, I think that's all the information that's needed.
