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 November 20, 2025
The ice is not generally IN, but as always some bold folks are getting on what's there regardless... Word has it that 2 parties grabbed the Black Dike on Wednesday. While not great, it was climbable. Pinnacle isn't too bad and Parasol is getting done, sans any actual Parasol! Unsurprisingly Peter Doucette has climbed Yukon Gold in very thin conditions. Of course YMMY.

This is how they die, I thought. They pass out or freeze without caring. They die as spectators, believing it's all happening to someone else. I'd rather be fully alive and awake when I die, I want to be terrified. The last place I want to snuff it is on a slope no steeper than a beginner's ski hill.
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.
