Kyle Gochenour wrote:Thanks everyone for all the Stairway to Heaven beta. It was a great climb today on the Apron. Ice was in a little more than Michaels pictures from earlier this week. There was another group up there too, not sure if they were anyone here, but they mentioned Mountain Project. I was really impressed with the climb, the ice was nice and sticky and you didnt get too wet. But it was really flowing in spots. There was a lot more rockfall than I would have liked but I guess that comes with the territory. Its going to be a great winter for sure! Hey Kyle, that was us. I was the one snapping photos and chatting with Asher (that right?) when you guys were hiking up. Since I was so stoaked to have ice again, that was my third time up this week. Hopefully this weather will help get some of the upper pitches established.

What is the horn looking like this week? Those were some sweet pics from Matt Jasperson. Id be willing to go try it out if someone wants to go with me (Michael Davidson). But for real safe enough to climb up back side of timp? any route? Cheers to the sub-zero temps we love so much :)

What other routes, when they are in, can be top-roped, or is just Stairway? And hopefully this weekends event brings more stuff in :-)

Any ice on the Apron which was once there, is now gone. Better to just go skiing.

With that negative attitude Mike the ice will feel unwelcome and never come back!!

I'm getting flashbacks of living in seattle trying to get those perfect conditions. Nov usually provides a hard freeze pre-dump. Not this year, twas October. too bad, lots of possibilities early - smears up the LCC, Roberts, that thing in Odgen. Next perfect condition OCD objective probably will have to wait like storm mtn, habeus corpus, etc.

Dirtcicle is back in, top roped it today for a few hours. Temps never got hot enough to bake it out, it was in lead-able conditions for the strong willed.
