| I guided in King Creek today, March 15. All three ice flows are in fine shape. We climbed the second pitch of the furthest upstream route and can recommend it, a fine short piece of technical climbing.
We climbed Magic Touch last Wednesday and it is in good shape with good ice leading into the mixed climbing. Looked better today with less snow cover.
The approach trails is doing well, but I'd be wary of all the west facing slide paths on the first sunny day that we get now that spring is here. I think that they will all run into the creek on that day. I was watching the paths on both sides of the creek on the way in and out.
Happy trails, Barry Blanchard UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide 1 403 609 4615 cell 1 403 609 1321
