We could only make it to the Kletting Peak turnout sign yesterday coming from Evanston.

Thanks William, any idea how far that is from the November wall? 

About a 1/4 mile or so, found a little up there...

Sweet!

Priceicle is gone. Drove past it today, it was just a little mush and running water.

Anyone know the status of mirror lake highway from the kamas side? Heard it’s “closed” but you can drive past the gate...

Hopefully cold temps this week start making some ice. If we can’t ski powder we might as well be climbing ice.

Anyone know if the gate for the mirror lake highway on the kamas side is closed?

Fairly sure it’s closed. 

Temps are dropping who's got info for those of us who can't account right now... Anything in Joe's? Priceicle back up? I know next week looks better. Just itching to get out. Spent all last night sharpening picks and screws..

Anyone wanna try and get out next week email me.

If anyone goes up tomorrow please post up on if its closed for sure. We were thinking of trying to go up Sunday.

Thanks!

It's closed. No snow on the road today. Hard to find falls and cobble creek were in. Also my wife said pricecicle was in and people were climbing.

Great! Thanks for the info!

Did you guys ride bikes or motorcycles into the climbs?

God info!

Sundial Falls 12-2

Cool White Stare and Dirty Blond at Lake Mary are in. Here is a trip report (trying to get better at writing: http://www.evernote.com/l/AAvy85ViBTxDoIIKp7SW66z8DQoIAZWj5xY/)

The approach road is legit, with the new moisture, you will for sure need 4WD.

The road into Mary's Lake was dry and dusty when I was in there earlier this week.  If the moisture will hold off for a week I hope to go back with a chain saw and clippers and cut a path up through the deadfall and flag the trail.  There are definitely easier and harder ways to do the approach.  I have been in there quite a few times its rough with all the trees, primrose, dogwood and willow at the base of the scree slope.

Was snowing in that area when I drove back over Soldier Summit this afternoon but blowing around something fierce.

Priceicle looked a little rotten from the heat but still standing. Should perk back up with the cold temps incoming.

@Sunny-D : Keep the forum updated. If you head out to build a trail, I could grab a chainsaw and join you (wife permitting ;-) ).
