I'll be doing my part!
I'll be up on the north shore of Lake Superior, axes in hand when the season starts.
I'm sure I'll have lots of stupid questions and replies like... REALLY?

Yeah, it could be that it's May and there aren't too many folks around able to do these sports this time of year...

I'll be posting some pics in a couple weeks. I'm heading over to the Cascades in mid-June to do a couple alpine routes and will post some stuff after that. Does that help?

Living in sunny sub-tropical South Africa, there doesn't seem to be much ice around, exept for a bit in the Drakensberg in mid witner. Hmmmm, I s'pose I could do some training in the nearest walk-in freezer.
..... aside from that, do any of you lucky norther hemsiphere buggers realise just how expensive gear of any kind is here?
I'd love to get into some ice climbing, and am off to the Drakensberg mid June to do a bit of top roping on whatever ice we might find. Yeeeah,.. can't wait to scare myself silly!!!

It's kind of between seasons, unless you're in New Zealand or Argentina. Also, the winter here in the northeast was pretty awful, even places like Willoughby didn't come in.
Maybe folks up in Alaska are having a better time of it. Seems like March-June is the main season up there.

During the ice season in the northeast, many people go to www.neice.com. You can find local conditions and more.

triple couliors on dragontail was in excellent shape as of last week. the ice runnels were hero and consistent to 70-80 degrees. a few great looking mixed lines on the north face as well -the last half of the winter here in washington is giving us a late season and a great spring in the mountains...woo-hoo!

I hate all you lucky bastards who actually have mountains!!!
Here in Texas, the ide of ice climbing is as foreign as a football bat. Traddaddy -- have you done anything on Lake Superior before? I'm from Duluth, and got to do some stuff around there for the first time this past winter -- had a blast.

Hi all my tool-swinging, hopefully light and fast friends! I just got back from Washington and did a couple routes while there. My partner and I did a couple fast ascents, one on the North Ridge Direct of Mt Baker, and one on Liberty Ridge (Rainier). They were both in superb condition! Get over there soon if you have the chance! Anyway, I posted some non-bouldering/sport climbing pictures. I appreciate any feedback. If anyone is looking for route conditions/beta, feel free to PM me! Later...
Jason

anytime is a good time to go on about ice/alpine/mixed. Believe it or not I prefer ice over rock now that I've gotten into the mixed climbing. Don't get me wrong though if I could do it when it was warm out then YAHOO but... thats life huh?
