At the end of last season I began injecting Winstrol-V and Rodeo Bull testosterone now adding insulin growth factor, HGH & peptides spent most days this summer deadhanging on my axes yelling and screaming at my wife in fits of rage has really helped our marriage. Ready for ice season. |

I don't even live in Colorado, but the fact that this thread has already started brings me joy. |

About an inch or so fell on Mt. Evans last night according to a friend that lives around there. |

Found this avalanche deposition cone a few weeks ago. I went back with the pons and tools and got pumped silly bouldering in the ice cave and it even has a perfect gravel landing! I'm looking for partners to go back for some more fun, send me a PM. I kind of want to keep this a semi-secrete, but will hint that it is only a 15min walk from the 4WD road;) |

It wasn't a complete lie, the ice cave is located here- mountainproject.com/v/mt-by… On another note. --- Invalid image id: 109409452 --- The Lincoln Falls Ice Pixies and I have left the dirty South for more ice and bling up North. This fall it's up to you fine folks of Colorado to do what ever you want with the plumbing up at LF. Most of it is stashed above the pillars area and there is also a submerged bucket and pipe above the Bowling Alley belay boulder that feeds the middle pillars area that needs to be cleaned out. Farming this area really improves the quality and number of climbs up there. And for those that are looking for relief from the hordes of TRs. I cleaned and trundled about 700ft of climbing on the big rock buttress to the East of LF. The Windy Wall can actually be a reprieve from the strong Westerly winds that plague that area. mountainproject.com/v/hoosi… Have a great season:) -Taylor |

Any ideas on what the alpine ice is looking like? Evans black wall area perhaps? Was gonna hike out there and take a look but got tied up. |
