alright!
looks like the season is coming to missoula. I'm assuming that there wasnt anything to climb quite yet. How were the temps up there?
Mission
It was below 32 all day, I reckon. Plus a good cold forecast.
Mission conditions, 1/26/12
Climbed in the upper ampitheather on Sunday, plenty of ice but very wet.
Mission condition
As of today, the falls look similiar to Hilar.e's photo. The quality of 80% of the ice was excellent, but there was a ton of snow on everything, as expected
Also if you are headed up the falls anytime soon, we had to leave a 16 in screw on the far right climb (whispering ice?). If you are feeling nice (or like beer), I would love to see it again.
