Description 

Fun little romp up a streambed 1/2 mi west of Silverplume's parking area. Obvious from road. Park just past a driveway in a pullout. Boulder hop river. Cross I 70 carefully. Wander up to the ice through intermittently denser vegetation. P1. 3 short WI2 steps to flatter section. can walk to next steeper bit. P2. WI2 R or WI3- L. Can be thin. Wet in sun. Pick a cold day. Walk off 200-300 yards left to an obvious gully. Follow animal tracks down. 30-35 minutes back to car from top. More exploring than technical.
