Before you look at the pictures I took today, and read the Report that I wrote when I got home, please take a minute to consider the time and effort it took and how useful it is to you. It takes a major commitment on my part to do this each and every week. Always making sure that it's done on Thursday's so that you will have the information you need to make your plans for the coming weekend.

Selected Ice Conditions effective December 13, 2018
Amazingly there is a LOT of ice to be climbed in the lower elevations. While all of the routes at Frankenstein aren't IN yet, lots are. And certainly enough that you have many options. Honestly, the Amphitheater is the one place lacking at this time, but that's really not all that surprising. And you can do the Pegasus Rock Finish if nothing else. As the little convection oven that it is, it always takes longer at the start and goes quicker at the end of the season.

The days of 36 frames in a film roll and no surety that you will actually get a good image are long gone. Digital cameras are all the rage, and even cell phone cameras can do a great job. Here's some tips on picking a good digital camera, if you decided to go in that direction.
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.
