Hi Matt. Are these shots from up 150 in the Uintas? I was up that way climbing this last summer and saw a lot of drips. Looks like the area... |

The crux pitch was a little thin, but actually in pretty easy climbing shape. Lots of ledges.
We rapped off bolts to the climbers right atop the first pitch. A second rope would have got us to the ground easily, but we made do with a v-thread when it didn't reach.
Here is the Fang. It appears to be forming quickly.
Finger of Fate was also looking good. Probably a little thin, but forming rapidly. |

| Thad,
Mary's lake has more ice then I have seen in years and is still accessible with a 4 wheel drive. I climbed over at slide lake 2 weeks ago and was able to drive further then I have in the past. Several 1000 ft climbs in over there 3-4s V-threads in a couple of them all the way down. A week ago highway to heaven and CCC were in and growing in the main area. We drove up to the Donnercicle and it was forming nicely but not in yet. I have not been over to Huntington yet but my guess there is stuff in over there. We have not had any snow for awhile down there so access is good. |

| found a pair o gloves in the stairway gully today. I handed them off to Mountain Works (climbing shop in provo). If you can describe em they are yours.
does anyone know any beta on the mixed or "bolts" on the route to the left of the 2nd pitch stairway-150ft? I put up a variation on wed that goes up n right of the little roof @ the bottom. I couldnt find any anchors up top. Guess they could be covered by ice. dunno. If someone hasnt put in rock anchors, i may put some in for convenience so you can lower off and clean.
went up soft and juicy on wed mornin. was pretty....yup...soft n juicy! The top of the last pillar was back melted and not attached and now its been warmer @ nite. Hasnt fallen but you may want to wait for cooler nite temps to make the march up. |

There is also a smattering of routes on this site, like under, "All Locations > Utah > Wasatch Range > Provo Canyon > Provo Canyon Ice"
Cause, I left my guide book at the cabin, with my laptop, and the charger to my barber shaver, duh! |

| Mary's Lake depending on how you approach will either be 5-10 mile ski on the road (based on how far you can drive) or 3 miles up a steep valley with lots of down timber.

| I moved to Utah in 2005 and have driven up to Willard from Salt Lake at least 5 times before I finally got it a week or so ago and posted up. Everyone is welcome for the beta photos. Soooo.....I climbed down in Provo Canyon yesterday night. There were little headlamps dancing around in the darkness everywhere. People are getting out. SNAP SOME PHOTOS AND POST UP! |
