Utah Ice Conditions 2016/17

If you do some digging you can hunt down the location of dead deer falls in old ice threads here on MP. I'll also say it's hardly worth the effort. I don't want to be a naysayer but in terms of quality it doesn't compare to any Provo Canyon routes. There are some pretty impressive routes in that area though, some accessible, some not.

Not a conditions report and will remove if anyone is offended, just PM me.
Selling 3 sets of tools and 7 pairs of crampons, would love to see them go locally.

I might interested in a pair if you consider Cedar City local?

Anyone checked out Maple since this last warm spell?

Maple as of today is just smears -- even the roadside stuff and Hourglass were too thin for stubbies.

Coats as of today:

Provo Update -

It is pretty anemic - more waterfall than ice by noon. A handful of lines on the apron are in. It looked like white nightmare had enough on it to climb. Upper canyon lines in similar condition.

It was warm. Rock and ice fall with the warmer temps made the base a bit sporty by noon. An early start would be recommended and pay attention to the temperature differentials with the inversion ramping up.

Happy Solstice.

PT

First two pitches on gwi were wet but ok. Third was good ice on the climbers right side. Fourth looks to be falling apart. Hopefully it hangs in there with the warm temps were gona have today.

Ass swell?

Storm Mountain... Temps are warming today - be smart.

Back Off is in.... Take your short screws (red's and blue's).

Upper Falls area (past Bridalveil) is partially formed- the upper sections of everything are still wet-tooling.

Looking for info on Joe's valley and Maple Canyon. Anyone been there recently?

Joe's had good ice on CCC falls including the last pillar, the curtain on deadbolt was good, best I've seen this time of year. Some others climbers said Donorsicle is in.

Hey all,
Coming from out of state for New Years. Want to climb gwi or something in Provo. Is the ice in at all or should I leave the tools and gear? I heard it was raining a couple of days ago and may have trashed everything Thanks!

I would bring tools. The temps have dropped into the teens at night and stuff is growing.

Upper pitches on the GWI looking a little better than last week. Low elevation temps are going to be cold the next few days so things should be getting better.

Where is Superior?

Any news on Maple Ice?
