Can't wait to get out soon. Anyone in the roaring fork valley looking for a partner hit me up.

Tried to get up Pikes today. Road only open to mile 13. Drove over to Lincoln Falls. Not a scrap of ice anywhere - running water and wet rock. Come on cold!

For what its worth Kevin, the last time I saw the ptarmigan fingers they were almost completely melted out. The photo attached was taken in mid august.

Yikes! Thanks Jon! That's incredible. Good thing climate change is a hoax. :^/ Guess I've got to take that one off my Fall climbing list - at least until/if we get a couple of big snow years in a row. Darn shame, those used to be some of the best AI climbs around.

Glacier Gorge/Black Lake: All Mixed Up and Black Lake routes are getting started; but - a couple of warm days this week will thin it out to almost nothing. Very early and pretty dry overall - the weather last week got some things started, but without another dose to move it along all progress will be lost.

Lincoln Falls is forming, though the middle of the bowling alley is still rock, and the pillars are a little rainy right now.

Went up to Long's Peak yesterday. Most everything is thin and discontinuous still, and the warm nights weren't helping. This next storm cycle may change that though. The right side of Columbine Falls (not pictured) had about a refrigerator sized hole in through which you could see a lot of flowing water.

Smear is pretty hopeless this season I think unless some serious change happens. (Hope I'm wrong) Crazy Train was in over a week ago but not for the faint of heart. The only screws you could have gotten would have been the anchor, if that, but it was touching. Conditions changed big time in just a week from pretty descent to almost summer like. Smear melted in half it seemed. Fields melted out a bit. Hopefully the cooler temps later this week bring some restoration. On the other hand....things that don't see the sun on the East Face....

This photo is from about 2 weeks ago. Lincoln falls is the fattest its been in a long time. I was going up there every other day to chop out the ice dams to keep the water flow going until some one took the community ice axe that was stashed up there. So, if you took an old grivel straight tool can you please return it or PM me. As of 10/25 in Summit it has snowed a few inches and is about 0F with wind chill. Longs Peak Conditions: Alexanders- In Flying Dutchmen- In Lamb Slide- Alpine Ice Kieners- In Eighth Route- out Cables- In Dream Weaver- Maybe??
