It looks as if we're in for a great series of days right through Sunday afternoon, and with one possible exception straight into next week. There are no bugs to speak of, you can almost see the moisture being wicked off the cliffs and the roads are already dry. Plan your weekend such that you can be outside and enjoy yourselves as much as possible. Heck, it doesn't get a whole lot better than this.
Oh yeah - couple of asides:
1) Sunday is Easter so I hope that all of you enjoy the day in whatever form is appropriate to you.
2) I would avoid the Ethereal Buttress area until the blocks directly above it are trundled. When you see all the trees down in that area you'll understand what I mean!
Ice Conditions Report:
Selected Ice Conditions effective December 31, 2025
Fortunately the "ice storm" we just had didn't have a serious impact on the state of the ice. In fact with the cold we've had things are really coming in full-bore. I predict that by the weekend pretty much everything where there is any kind of water moving should be IN and looking good!

The White Mountain Report
North Conway, New Hampshire
All ice is dangerous. Grade 4 pillars are pumpy. Grade 5 pillars are pumpy and dangerous. Except for certain rare days of triple-high biorythms and favorable planetary alignments, grade 6 is beyond reach.
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.
