Hiking out on the road in mtneering boots is demoralizing 2 star route, with a crappy descentWhere is this route? |

I was up at the spiral staircase area recently and noticed that the rescue sled is in very poor shape. Does anyone here have any insight into where one could seek a replacement sled? |
|
does anyone know if any ice in redstone is in yet? |
|
Has anyone taken a peak at lincoln falls? I'm thinking of heading up there tomorrow or Friday to scout but curious if anyone has been up there after the last warm spell? |
|
I was up at Lincoln on Sunday the 14th. Conditions were great. Plenty of fat ice in for numerous routes. The pillars were looking a bit like swiss cheese but the rest of the routes and ice are in particularly fat for this time of year. Get some!!! |

|
@tenpins, what about any organizations out there that might donate something like that? Ic cascade toboggan a company that might do that? It just seems to me like it would be good to have the rescue gear there and in good repair, but I don't have the ability to replace it myself. |
|
It looks like it might be fiberglass...in which case it might be able to be repaired. I'm not sure how they are used so you would want to know how the sleds are used before making certain repairs. |
