Who's psyched? I'm psyched, should be another month or so till TA on Pikes Peak comes in I'm hoping... |

This will be my first winter in southwest Colorado. My goal is to sniff out all the untouched ice! Noted a lot of drainages this spring/summer down roads no one even cares to know about. ca-ching! Oh and I'M psyched. The pelt is coming in early this year. |
|
Please, Talisman, please, please please . . . . |
|
It's been a fairly wet summer, in years past, has that boded well for winter ice? |
|
I'm wanting to get to Vail this year, but I'm mostly just posting so I can get email notifications from the thread ;-) |
|
Thank freakin God this thread is already started. I'm so psyched I'm gonna do some ice cragging on a glacier up here in WA just to remember swinging tools. |
|
So excited for this season! Can't wait to get on TA, also I am looking for some more dedicated partners for this season. I have found several lines in Chaffee county that I hope to get this year. |
|
Psyched. Nailed a number of great routes in Cody and Hyalite past two seasons but am gunning for some more CO lines this season. With all this rain and early snow, ya gotta wonder what it might look like up high end of the week. Always up for new partners and death marches in search of new lines! |
|
Looks like there are a couple of competing 2013-14 Colorado ice conditions threads. |
|
THE SMEAR OF FEAR IS IN! Yesterday it was 2-4 inches thick for 400 feet, but getting fatter quickly. Too bad the feds closed it down. |
|
Checked out Blue Lakes today. North Star is shaping up. Saw a party checking it out but don't think they got on it. Middle (2nd) pitch looks pretty fat but approach pitches still thin. There was some decent ice bouldering down below lower Blue Lake. Wondering if anyone has info. on that area...some lines there could form up well this year...if we get a good pattern and cold nights continue. |

M. Lincoln ice, Sunday, 10/6/13. |
|
Question for admins: Is there some way to freeze this thread and redirect everyone to the other 2013-14 Colorado ice conditions thread? |
|
Or just combine the two? |
|
I think ColoRADo needs it's own special rad thread to keep the radness radical. |
|
Oh man, I'm chomping at the bit looking at these pictures. I'm sharpening tools tonight! |
|
time to tr me some sweet lincoln! |
|
I'm just hoping to get on SWTH this winter and not have to back off due to avi danger, (It's eluded me for years) but hell I'll be happy to just get out anywhere! |
