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 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.

Climbing for speed records will probably become more popular, a mania which has just begun. Climbers climb not just to see how fast and efficiently they can do it, but far worse, to see how much faster and more efficiently they are than a party which did the same climb a few days before. The climb becomes secondary, no more important than a racetrack. Man is pitted against man.
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.
