Also, the Ice Park isn't always in, since ya know, its closed. God forbid you have to put the time and effort in to go check out a climb to see if its in shape! Oh the horror of it all! There is a friendly FB page that dispenses such conditions reports. Maybe if you seemed like a nicer person I would give it to you. 0 Flag Quote

	La MoMoface · Feb 13, 2017 · Arvada, CO · Joined Apr 2008 · Points: 60 Why would the guys in Ouray know about conditions on a line in Telluride? That's like asking guys at Vail what the skiing is like RIGHT THIS MINUTE at Copper. 0 Flag Quote

You know real people post on FB right? Like, real human beings that breath and climb and such. Just as real as the people on MP. 0 Flag Quote
	Just Solo · Feb 26, 2017 · Colorado Springs · Joined Nov 2003 · Points: 80 There are several guide outfits and pages outlining conditions in the telluride, silverton, ouray area. Search engines are amazing. To the above question regarding good TR other than the park... if you can lead the pitch first. Yes. The ice situation is all but dead on the lower stuff anyway. Funky year. 0 Flag Quote
