Jen Olson and I had a day of work up at
the Cline River Gallery on the David Thompson Hwy. yesterday. The tops of the
routes are getting some indirect sun exposure throughout the day but nothing too
intense, no issues with any ice screw melting out at all. The routes are in good
shape, and don't seem to have been affected at all really by all the uber warm
weather we've been having lately. Pure energy is probably in around WI4/4+ and
has a bunch of different options for lines on it, some dry, some wet and one
with more technical climbing than the rest. We also did "Are You
Afraid of the Dark", climbs around WI5 right now, and links up a series
of big blobs and pillars that makes for one continuous ice line top to
bottom. Fun times
The ice up there has still got a ton
of tension in it and on my way back down "Are you Afraid of the Dark"
cleaned of a few big daggers close to
the route with surprisingly little effort. There's still plenty
more hanging along the top of the cliff left our the routes too.
Ciao fer now!
