If you are headed up to Vail to run laps on Pumphouse anytime soon, you have Rodney P to thank for installing the trough. Nice work today Rodney, thanks for yet another entertaining wallow. Sorry again about playing pin the tail on your new rope, please do save that piece for me when you tidy up.

Anyone have additional driving beta for avocado gully? I have a vague idea from the current mp beta but could use extra help. Thx!

take 133 south of carbondale for ~10 miles til the canyon around the road gets it's narrowest. park on the left, cross the road, approach is prolly 6 mins. if you hit the redstone campground you've gone too far. PM me if you need more info

Went back to Drool in Redstone, the Drool has a two inch fracture running from the right about 1/3rd ten foot under the "rest" half way up. Still OK and great fun, but degrading fast. By the way if anyone heads up there I replaced the belay on the right by moving it back one tree and replaced the sun bleached (and actually quite weak) old tat with new red webbing... Please bring up a sharpie and mark the webbing tail with "Feb 12". I left my sharpie in the car - Doh!

Thanks guys!

+1 on the Designator, all beat up. Centre line lots of fun though - developing a fracture at 2/3rd height.

Anyone...conditions in Ouray/Silverton fro next weekend?
Thanks,
L.

Climbed Vail 03/04, Seventh Tentacle is in good shape. RD looks pretty picked out. Spiral Stair Case it really picked out, however the left side near Secret Probation is steep and not to hooked out yet.

The fang shroom is huge!

Any recent beta on lambs slide/kieners? Anyone done this before with just some general beta? A car to car average would be really helpful?

FWIW, Hidden Falls at RMNP is changing a bit. The left side seems to be melting out a bit, the water has switched to the right side, but it sprays the middle of the flow, and the pillar to the right is really hooked out, making it harder to find ice to place screws.

Also, the S. St. Vrain flow is about as fat as it's been per a friend who drives by weekly.

On 3/9/12, it took medium screws on the lower bit and the steeper bit below the rap tree. The ice in the middle and above the tree was stubby terrain. Submitted By: Leo Paik on Mar 10, 2012

Did some climbing on the SE Face of flattop and got some good shots of Hallett Chimney and Dragontails. Hallett appears to be in great shape as well as the Dragontails.

hidden falls was fat as off last thursday, bring rock gear too, moderate mix on the left

Taking a group of six to hidden on friday. Little brother's in town, getting married in two weeks. Going to leave him hanging in his harness till he changes his mind while his groomsmen throw screws at him.

They are actually just rock hounds excited to climb ice for the first time. Apologies for the crowd.

//Also, climbed lake city ice park and north clear creek this weekend. Both in great shape. Not a soul in site.

Hello, looking for conditions in Vail/Silverthorn as well as RMNP for this weekend. Flying in from Nashville, TN, if there is any ice.

Any help would be appreciated!

Vail looked pretty good last weekend while driving by. Wont have long up there though.

Hidden Falls Update; Conditions are very warm, but the main falls is hugh so it should be around for a while; The Dangler on the other hand is about done dangling!

Thanks Dave and Tom! We are here now having a great time!

Sixty degrees for the past ten days in SW colorado. Half the ice park closed, not looking good.

Ice Park will be closed as of this Wednesday. The place was falling apart today.

i'm thinking with the succession of warm days and cold nights and no new snow for quite a while, skywalker might be safe to climb and ski already. at least early in the day. but i wouldn't mind hearing what others might think about that

Climbed Martha Thursday, 3/15 and was surprised by the shape of the climb. No ice, mostly snow and the crux sections are entirely rock. The descent down the east slopes was completely dry.
