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 March 14, 2024
So why did I go up to Crawfords Notch this morning & take some pictures? Well, certainly not because I thought I might find any climbable ice! HA Pretty much just for consistency I gotta say. I'll probably go up the next two Thursdays as well, for the archives. IMO none of the ice that I saw anywhere today in Crawford Notch was climbable, not even Dracula. And with it being so warm, everything in the vicinity of what you might think of as possibly climbable ice is extremely problematic! Just time to move along to rock at this point.
