Conditions Update 2-16-12


Mulkey starting the first pitch of Long Neck Bottle

UPDATED 2-16-12


Conditions are good right now lots of good stuff in right now. Lots of snow in higher drainages but avy danger very low on most things but use common sense. With the weather forecast for the next week set it should be a good ice festival weekend. This will be the last condition report until mid March since I will be heading to Norway to play on their ice.

1-11-12 Update


Mark Jenkins and Kenny Gasch head up Bozos Revenge

UPDATED 1-11-12


Little but of snow hit the valley this morning but the heat of the last week took its toll. Desert like conditions return to the valley once again but the ice is good. Cold temps have set in for a few days which will help the south facing side.

1-3-12 Condition Update


Aaron Mulkey on the First Ascent of "Knights Of The Round Table" in the cathedral area
UPDATED 1-3-12

its been warm, its been cold and its been snowy and the conditions continue to be good. The avalanche danger is really only a concern on climbs like Main Vein and climbs in the deer creek drainage other then Too Cold To Fire. Basically there are only a handful of climbs with avy danger in the valley. Just use basic common sense and you will be fine. The warm temps are doing good job of settling and melting the snow pack. The conditions listed below could change quickly with the rollercoaster of weather we have been having so keep that in mind.

South Fork Valley Update 12-12-11


Aaron Mulkey enjoying Sendero Luminoso!

UPDATED 12-12-11

Conditions in the valley are a bit weird for this time of year. The south facing climbs are struggling to build but then there are some rare climbs that are coming in but could go away within a day like "Freak on a Leash". Broken hearts 6th pitch is hanging a long ways down but the 5th pitch pillar appears to have fallen down completely so its a interesting year so far. Many of the North facing climbs are in great condition and the warmer temps are making climbing on the north facing side of the valley much more enjoyable. The conditions below could change very quickly with this weeks weather patterns but I can assure you the north facing climbs will continue to get better.

I have some pictures I will post in the next day.

Cooke City Update

Here is a quick update from Keith Noback from a recent trip to Cooke City a week ago. Thanks Keith !

The Silver Gate and Park Gate climbs were in. South of Summit looked in, but alot of the other Baronette stuff had a ways to go. Couldn't find Hydromonster, but Jay says it should be there. The snow doesn't look too awful yet (we did OK without flotation). The only evidence of slab formation was in the base of drainage #7 on Abiathar. Snow pack was pretty uniform and felt stable elsewhere.

ASSUMTION OF RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY

Each climber is responsible for his own safety and this site and specifically the condition page should only be used as a reference and guide to the South Fork. The information on this page is current as of the date above and conditions and temperatures can change dramatically day to day. The photos listed below are for reference only of what the climb looks like, they are not taken each week or each year so please do not get mad at me when the climb looks different, harder or easier then what the picture depicts.
