Ice Conditions: Clear Creek Canyon

Clear Creek Canyon - Ice Report

Climbing Conditions

Ice Conditions as observed from HWY 6 on Saturday December 3, 2016 at 2:00pm.

Of the 3 main flows regularly climbed in Clear Creek Canyon, all were exhibiting signs of good formation. Although the lower tier of "Coors Lite" was being TR-solo'd, I'd give these flows a little more time to form.

Beer Garden (First Flow) - VERY Thin
Mickey's Big Mouth - Coming in well
Coor's Lite - Still thin, a few more cold nights and it will be good to go.

See pictures for additional Condition Info.
