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: February 3, 2010- Howdy fellow ice enthusiasts! Our sincerest appologies for slacking on the ice report. Want to hear our excuses? Our office manager has been dealing with a torn ACL, we've been up to our necks with avy courses, and our ice guy is in Ouray (blame him!). Here is what we do know: The road is plowed and in good condition. We have been having consistently cold temps which should result in great conditions out there. Please- if you have been climbing- send us photos. Scratch our back and we'll scratch yours! Be safe out there and have a great time!
One Too Many
In Shape: Yes! The word of the day is fat! The approach is not great, make sure you bring trekking poles, possibly snowshoes, and some patience. Don't detroy those ankles people! Click on the photo for more photos from Miguel Forjan!
We are very pleased to add a new feature to the site. If you click on View Topo, in the Lee Vining Canyon section you will find a link to Brian Biega's excellent site (About My Adventure) and route lines will be shown. If you hover over the route name the route and rating will appear. VERY COOL. Thanks Brian!
