Cory:

Is it "IN" or "THIN"? For purpose of ice report, "IN" should mean leadable on 22cm screws throughout. Otherwise, it would be "THIN".

cheers

I wasn't suggesting people climb with 22's. But generally if you give an ice condition report, to consider as "In" would mean that the ice is adequate for 22cm screws throughout. Correct me if I'm wrong. Joe? Shawn?

10/12cm = 'thin'
16cm = 'in'
19/20/22cm = glacier

I would consider something that took 13s and 16s to be "in".

22s would be fat.

10s are thin, but if the route is generally thin, and never really fattens up through the season, then I would consider that "in" as well.

Is it raining in Moncton? We got close to a foot of snow in Fredericton last night.

Nope, not so clear = ) At least not coming back from SJ to F'ton this morning at 9am. A good 4x drive can muscle through the snow, slush and ice fairly easily, but the traffic traveling 80k in front of you can't be circumvented so handily. Drive safe!

Well let's just say it doesn't look like this right now http://www.climbeasterncanada.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4262&p=21759&hilit=mount+misery#p21759 ...........scroll down.

But we did manage to lead Main Street, Little Dike, Left Buttress, Right Buttress and tr'd 3 other ice and mixed lines. This is a great spot for ice and mixed climbing.

Should be in good shape in a month.

Regarding the definition of "thin", I agree with what Anders said. Thin ice = dull picks.
