I saw the post from jsmiley about no ice yet up there but I also saw a forecast of lows in the single digits with highs in the teens and 20's for then next 10 days in GNP.  Anyone think something will form by sat/sun?  Also, Just moved to Missoula and have no partners for glacier area but would love to get on any of those routes up there if anyone needs a partner.  contact me at: dmarbarger@hotmail.com

Snyder Basin Climbs

Went up to Snyder today, the whole ampitheatre was big menacing daggers hanging down but not touching with lots of water coming off of them.  The trail in was in good shape, no or minimal snow.  Found the safest spot, did some bouldering but not in shape for serious climbs until we get more cold weather and more fully formed features.

Snow line is at 4,000 ft.  2 inches at the lake and 8-12 inches at 6,500 ft.  Ice is forming in the Northeast and North Aspects and is very thin.  Monument Falls has ice from top to bottom and is also thin.  Thicker formations at higher elevations on the North East aspects with some large curtains forming with a few narrow drips.

How to Post photos

OK, with the new website, posting photos is a bit different .... here's how:

1. Upload the photo: use the "File attachment" link at the bottom of the "post new topic" page.

2. There is no pop-up window like there used to be - it just uploads it right there. After the photo is uploaded, it tells you what the URL is.

3. Copy that URL for the image. Then, below the "body" where you are typing, look for the little tree icon- that's the "insert/edit image" icon.

4. Click on that, then paste the URL for the image into the URL field.
