looking how to find Loose Lady in BC

I need some beta on how to get to Loose Lady ASAP. I have the book but the approach beta is super vague. Any info would be appreciated.

No spam please.

Edit for admins: look, Luc! It's posted on "Ice Forum"!

P.S.edit: Sweeet, Alex! Hope she's fat! Thanx.

Couldn't resist.

Look, theres a search field
mountainproject.com/v/loose…

I assume you mean the ice climb and not the rock climb linked above...
For the ice climb there is no real wide pull out although if you go 10km (+\-) past the rambles towards lilloet you will find it on the right. Look for a defined avalanch draw with a creek in it there is no large pull out so you normally just get as tight on the shoulder as you can. Aproach from the road is low on BS as you can see the ice floes from the road. If you have the book use the mileage distances they have to get you in the ball park.

How bout posting some pics and approach beta after you guys get back? I've never been past the Rambles so I'm really interested. Good luck!

Oh, you haven't lived till you've stepped out of confines of the Rambles when it comes to ice on the Duffy!

Alex, you got any pics of the approach to Lady? I'm stuck at work

Sorry, no pic's on me at the moment.
The first time I went there I had only the mileage markers from west coast ice for beta and we got it first try. I was up there pre Christmas and there was a defined boot pack on the left side of the drainage that runs down from the ice when viewed from the road.

Really? I've done lots of split boarding, like up chief Pasquale. I never realized there was much WI around that part of the 99!

Carl's Burg, Syncronisity, the tube, loose lady, Belmore... All great ice zones in the cayoosh/duffy area with multiple pitches at all of them. There is also a whole other world of ice up in North Joffre creek along with many other, none published areas in other drainages feeding into the duffy corridor.

And if your up on Chief Pasquale take a look at the North East Face of Joffre for a great areana of summertime alpine ice.

Yo! You know a lot, dude. I need some beta on how to get to Carl's Berg. I heard about it from a friend once. We are going in a few days and hope to get our tools swinging! Any pics of anything will be appreciated. I'm not very good at understanding directions so please be very simplistic. Much thanx, man!
The friend is Crazy Polish Bob, if it rings a bell. He is a beast. I don't know if we can climb that hard but anything goes on tr!

Been there. Not too far either

All kidding aside -how have conditions been this year, or more importantly, lately?

And, you can usually see the top of the second pitch/pillar of Loose Lady from the road, heading back towards town...

Here's a good link with pictures of recent conditions

As for some approach beta, though I have never been to loose lady or rambles, I've been looking at YouTube and vimeo videos of lillooet ice climbing videos. They have several with those two climbs exclusively with some b roll type footage of the approach and surrounding areas.

Is there a good place to park a vansion while you climb?
