2011 Utah Ice Conditions thread
|
Anybody been through Provo Canyon lately? Anyone know whats in?, or whats building quickly? Anyone seen some good ice somewhere else lately? Thanks for your report on the lake mary area, its starting to look pretty sweet! I'll report back after my trips, but it would be awesome to have a little beta. |

Climbed on the apron this morning. Nothing I would want to put a screw in, but definitely climbable. White Nightmare and the streak to its left looked surprisingly good, but again, I wouldn't lead it right now. |

Just want to watch this thread. in the hopes of ice climbing this year. So if anyone wants to take a noob out for a day of climbing let me know |
|
Ice in Provo Canyon is reforming after the cold temps last night. Looks like it'll be a busy day on the apron tomorrow. |

Went to Joes yesterday, conditions seemed a little worse than this past weekend: |

Climbed to the top of the bulge on the GWI today. No ice getting to that belay. Had to climb above 10' and then back down to the belay. You could go all the way if you exit out right. Pretty thin still. |
|
Went and climbed on the Apron today 12/3/11 it is a little better than the previous posted pictures, fun but still a wee thin for good screws. |

Those photos look like Miller's Thriller. Cool early season photos. |

Climbed White Nightmare today, all but the far right hand side is too chandeliered to climb without setting its growth back significantly, and it is quite wet still. A few more days of solid building and it will be looking right. |
