Colorado Ice Climbing Conditions 12.9.09
What a difference a few weeks makes. There is ice all over Colorado right now. Many of the routes in RMNP are in, Vail is looking good with Firehouse, Pumphouse and Spiral Staircase IN, and western Colorado is going off. Things are great in the San Juans, and Redstone is apparently good as well.
See the conditions page for the full scoop.

Boulder Canyon is in! I’m a rookie by any standards, but I climbed with a friend at The Lower Falls in Boulder Canyon this morning and there’s more ice on the Left route than any of the videos I could find online for 2007 in January and February. The right route has a thin patch, but still climbable all the way to the top. Ice is also in at The Upper Falls. We didn’t climb there because we were beaten by some earier risers. Met several groups throughout the 4-5 hours we were there. be happy to email some photos once I download them.
