Thank you,

Hidden Haven was in great shape a week ago, Good ice throughout, last pitch in pretty fat with good rests and climbing on either side...(climbs more like WI3) ...might wanna wait till the monster 1'-3' storm heading there Sunday through Monday clears out though unless you like potholing...

We are expecting 3-6 inches of snow in Cedar, the mountain is going to be pounded with even more, wait until next weekend or longer. The route will get Fatter!!

Climbed Redemption in Indian Canyon this morning. Was in good shape. From the road it looks like Birdshit Cicle is fully formed up and Raven should go as well. The climbs are growing, but slowly due to less moisture in that area.

Has anyone climbed the routes near the S-curve in BCC, or in Echo lately?

Alpinerocket, wondering if you've ever done one of The Screamers or know folks who have...thinking about a "clown car approach" where two dudes jump out and the driver hangs with a phone or set time till they send. Then comes back and switches with one of those climbers...or do people just leave their car on the side of the interstate?

For the Screamers just park at the Henifer Exit. It is maybe a 10 min stroll over to the ice. There is a great place to park on the West Side of the Exit. Walk up the off ramp climb the fence and you are pretty much there. We did 3 pitches on Screamers Right last week. Screamers Left is great fun right now too.

Might check out tombstone and the screamers in the morning.

Thanks Sunny-D for the Screamers beta. Would be up for an Echo session Wednesday AM if anyone's interested. 15+ years ice experience, safe climber/attentive belay, mellow attitude, etc etc. Screamers then Tombstone...

Done deal. Will message ya...

Was up at Echo on saturday and the screamers were looking good.

Does anyone know the current condition of "The Scottish Gully" in BCC?????

The Screamers are super fat and there is ice right of them that isn't in the book.

First pitch of CCC Falls is still nice and fat. Top pitch thinner than it was a month ago, with a fat section on the left, open for about 20 feet, then an amazing pillar on the right side.

Anyone up for some local ice tomorrow?

Very interested in the condition of the Scottish Gulley. That is one of my favorite routes around.
