Anyone have details on the Ouray area (aside from Vics post) - looking to go play over there this weekend.... |
|
Is there anything to swing at in Vail? Thinking of heading up this weekend. |

I believe it should of been by the tree, let me know if you grabbed it and I will buy you some beer, I live in Summit County. Thanks,I'll be up there this coming week. I'll let you know if I find anything, but I'm guessing with the impending snow it might get buried. Who knows though! |

Re:Vail |
|
Thanks everyone for the info on current conditions and pictures |
|
Thanks to those who have been farming the ice up there |
|
Thanks RobRobRobRob. Hopefully it'll start to thicken up. |
|
Things are pretty non existent here in Ouray right now. Not a spot of ice on Ribbon/BBB....or really anywhere on Camp Bird Road. Lots of dry tooling routes in though. |
|
Vail is still a ways off... some blobs here and there but nothing climbable. |
|
Anyone know of, or heard anything about Redstone Area Ice ? |
|
Officers gulch does not have any ice except for a bit on three tiers which is pretty low angle. |
|
Many thanks again to the guys doing the farming at Lincoln. I understand your desire to remain relatively anonymous, but I'd also like to say "thank you" in a more tangible way. If one or more of you would PM me, I'd like to provide you with some beer, gear or something similar. |
|
I would be interested in hearing about Ridgeway, Ouray, Redstone, or Lake City... Basically anything other than the I-70 corridor or RMNP. |
|
we just received snow this weekend, i doubt anything is in yet Jayson wrote:Anyone know of, or heard anything about Redstone Area Ice ? |

I second that ^^^ |
|
If Lincoln Falls is crowded, check out the South West side of Quandary Peak before the Blue Lake road gets snowed in for the season. Just hike 20-30 min to the Fletcher/Quandary saddle, there are some nice WI2-3 flows and mixed climbs that can be TR. |

Odessa Gorge update: |
|
Looking at heading over to Lincoln falls this week, is there any forest land nearby to camp on? |

I visited Mineral Creek in the Silverton area yesterday and found Campground Couloir was in. |
