I joined Dave Britnell and 6 others from the ACC at Raven Lake on Sunday.
There was 10-15 cm of snow Saturday night and it also snowed heavily Sunday morning (could barely see the cliff on the walk in). As a result there was snow over everything, even my photos.
Met the lady who ploughs out the parking lot for Raven. She confirmed that the cottage association does indeed pay for the ploughing. The cottagers, however, weren’t around today to collect a contribution.
Twisted Staircase – not in
Inchworm, No One Mourns the Wicked – the ice on these mixed routes is very thin
Wet Sherpa – thin. Covered in snow. I think there was ice all the way up the corner. The top pillars are much thinner than normal.
Pacific Unknown – not in
This Ain’t Muskoka – covered in snow; looked to be thin
Stepladder – couldn’t tell, some ice was visible, but mostly covered in snow
Mr. Poe – in (we left rap rings on a cordelette on a tree to the right of the top out)
Unknown Wall – very thin. Only Unknown Civilian is in. Bring some small nuts or small cams, if you do the upper half after the snow ramp; the ice in the exit corner is a dry detached sheet, but there’s a nice crack at its right edge. I, of course, didn't have any rock pro and as a result trashed my stubby. We left a sling and a maillon (quicklink) at the top out for rapping.
Hungry Man - in
