Ouray Area Conditions
Posted at 6:37pm on Jan 6th 2010 by Clint Cook
Here is the latest on the Ouray conditions.
Skylight: A bit thin on some routes, but the standards are good to go.
Ribbon, BirdBrain, and Talisman are not in.
Horsetail/Bear Creek: Both are great right now. That rare opportunity to tag both in a short day.
Sun Splash and Solar Circus are holding ice, but look to be getting sun affected.
Engineer Climbs appear not in, although Abraxas could probably be climbed.
Stairway, Highway, and Whorehouse are fat city. Watch out for hidden ice dams on the rollovers. Its easy to punch through to some chilly water on stepping off some belays.
Ames is hanging tough, and super fun.
Bridalveil continues to be weird this year, only one reported ascent I know of.
Ingraham is reporting touching, not sure about Silverpick, would imagine its climbable though.
Santa Claus Pillar is reported in good condition.
That's all I know off the top off my head. Hope its useful!
