[MCR] Ranger Creek Ice Climbs, October 26,2009

Had a fun time climbing some early season ice in Ranger Creek today with Tom Wolfe.  Both the L & R lines on the 'Chalice' are in good shape in the 4/4+ range.  'R&D' is also back in good shape.  'Lone Ranger' has melted out a fair bit and looked quite thin but climbable.  5cm of new snow when we left but in general not enough snow for any avalanche hazard yet.

 

Most other routes we could see from the drive in were reforming after last weeks warm weather but will need more time to be in climbing shape.

 

Cheers, Conrad Janzen
