I drove up into the Notch Wednesday, knowing that the weather was going to turn to crap Thursday. And of course I wasn't surprised. It is a sloppy mess out there right now. There was ice, but IMO not climbable. Of course as soon as I say that I'm sure someone will get on something like Dropline, just to prove me wrong. Will that be you? LOL
An Ice Climber's Guide To Southern New Hampshire and Eastern New York
With social distancing now the norm, and with the ever growing popularity of the sport, An Ice Climber's Guide To Southern New Hampshire and Eastern New York will no doubt help you find places to climb that are off the beaten track.
The Cave Route -
WI 3
Climb straight up a curtain to some trees and a ledge beneath a short rock wall. Rap from a 2-bolt anchor or the trees, continue up and right to some other trees, or traverse left and walk off.
Anytime the gear makes climbing too easy and success too certain, the best climbers will voluntarily limit their use of it.

Selected Ice Conditions effective November 26, 2020
YUP, the ice has been forming in the notches and the higher elevations, tho nothing here in the Valley. People have been climbing in Tucks, Pinnacle and I even heard that there was reasonable ice on Mt Avalon - tho that's a slog. That said, it's not clear where things will be after this weekend's rain and warmup. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. At least all this sure puts some water in the system. [wry grin]

Climbing is a very dangerous sport. You can get hurt or even kill yourself. When you go climbing, you do so of your own free will. Everything on this site is to be taken with a grain of salt. Don't blame us if you get up some totally heinous route, in over your head and fall and hurt yourself.
