Conditions report

Location
Haffner Creek

Spent the day at Haffner Creek today and was surprised at how little ice there was. It is probably in the driest conditions I’ve ever seen. See the attached photos for details. The first corner on the left and the short flows past the main wall are in normal shape but there is otherwise very little pure ice climbing.

Many of the dry-tooling routes are missing their ice top-outs as well.
