Description 

North of the Animas Valley scattered along the US Highway 550 corridor there are serveral ice climbs that form. These routes are not the most consistent, but during the right year provide some good climbing. The area classic that should not be missed is Seven Year Itch - steep and exciting climbing up an often thin pillar of ice.


Getting There 

From Durango take US Highway 550 north through Hermosa. The first of the routes is about 15 miles north of town. See climbs for more detailed directions.
