Waterfall was a popular spot on Sunday. I beleive there where as many as 10 or 12 people there at one point (more than most sunny days I've gone there rock climbing). I'll be back this sunday![]()

Luc and I climb all day Sunday in +8.... it was amazing! Hero Ice!!!!
Nothing wrong with that. One day last January Tristan and I climbed Waterfall and when we realized it was too warm to climb ice,we climbed Smithers at Simpsons and Tristan hung his Ice boots on the first bolt and then we climbed Waterwalk, Astroboy, Kapow

The weather is supposed to stay on the + side for most areas till next Saturday..... I am usually very optimistic when it comes to ice, not this time.... the coastal stuff is probably in the same situation. Sunday Parlee was still in good condition, probably our only hope for the near future.....
Cross your fingers for a cold snap! We need it Bad!

Other than a few thin top outs, conditions where great, perfect hero Ice! I climbed over 20 different lines in the 3 day. Parlee Brook it self has been totally unchanged by the warm spell, I was there the day before the warm spell and everything remained the same. NB is lucky to have such a amazing Ice crag that can survive the hot January weather!
Keep swinging! season is FAR from being over!

Looks like Monday we will be back to freezing temperaturesHow long does it usually take to form back up? What does it depend on?

Climb safe, climb smart!
Motivation for Ice is already high in my heart! Here's good news for all the optimists in our small ice community!
