Bancroft Eagles Nest Ice condition - Thin but IN

The ice is thin all over the usual spots on the cliff with 2 to 3 inches avg. I would say that the ice is patchy and thin but some climbs in my judgment (from the bottom) are climbable, especially since we havent had much snow yet and the ice is easy to see.

Rollercoaster is thin but definately climbable right now, the curtain is about 6 inches thick and climbable if you are good with thin. Dirty Harry is patchy - not in. The first pitch of the Eiger on climbers left is not in, climbers right variant is a thin sheet. The second pitch of the eiger looks good and may actually be entertaining right now (instead of a low angle snow slog). Crystal tower ? WI2 is thin but in.

So I guess my main message is "thin but in" at the eagles nest! Before you come out just watch the temps and make sure that they stay in the negative as a quick warm up would send it all tumbling down.

Looks to be a good year of ice on the horizon! Let us all make the best of it; stay safe and keep your head screwed on!

Ice climbing is dangerous - I take no responsibility for your actions on ice so take my condition reports only as a guideline. Something I may deem fit to climb may be viewed differently to others. Use your best judgment always!
