Hi Folks,

Unfortunately I've got no time to write a full-on Report this week. Between school vacation week, family mini-vacation and 2 solid days of recording sessions life has been too busy to climb, much less write. That's why I'm blasting this out now, before it gets even MORE crazy as the weekend approaches. This is the first time this season that I haven't been able to get out climbing in the early part of the week. ARRRGGGHHH! Well at least I'm having fun - yee ha! With any sort of luck at all I should be back with a Report next week. Stay tunes… My ice predictions & observations are below.
Ice Conditions Report:
Selected Ice Conditions effective February 26, 2026
The '26 ice season has been quite good. Sure there are places where it didn't really happen - Snot Rocket, Machine, etc. But the classics are all in and overall still in great shape. AND we didn't get one of those early-winter warm-up events that put a hard reset on the season. We are scheduled for a bit of a warmup through Sunday, and that should be a good thing. Frankly we need to get some flow happening for a refresh before it gets cold again. And it will. After all, it ain't spring yet!
Huntington Ravine numerous options  
Repentance iffy  
Standard Route GREAT conditions Click to see route picture.
