SMG's ICE REPORT

< BACK PAGE 

This report of ice conditions is for ice climbs in the Sierra. We will report on conditions as we see them, or as we get reports from our friends. Be aware though that ice conditions can change rapidly with changing weather conditions. Be aware and knowledgeable of factors leading to stable snow and ice, and perceptive enough to back off in poor conditions. Visit the Eastern Sierra Avalanche Center website for the latest backcountry avalanche advisory. Be safe and enjoy the climbing!!

Ice Conditions: We'll be back next winter! For now: Go rock climbing!
