    Ice Conditions Report 4-21-26

    April 21, 2026

    Yep Still There For Those Who Want It! Pretty much the only climbs left are the seeps and even those are starting to deteriorate at the top outs!

    Yikes! A bit of warm weather and rain has really opened up the waterfall/pillars- just check out the volume coming over the Sweet Mother Moses yesterday!

Continued “just cold enough” temperatures have kept the ice in pretty decent condition and folks are still coming up…

    Ice Conditions Report 3-23-26

    March 23, 2026

    Just like Captain Mcsorley most famously said, “we are holding our own”! No rain and cold overnight temperatures have kept the seep ice locked in and has made for excellent spring climbing conditions. The true waterfalls still remain a hit and miss and something that can change by the hour. Still can’t give up on…
