The Icebox is the cliff directly across the river from Pine Cone Dome. There are several good sport routes with potential for more. The name comes from the large ice-flow on the upper right-side of the cliff that stay in frozen well into the month of May.
Getting There
Look for the big rock of the left side of the road at the 8.1 mile mark.The rock angles up a ridge and is quite overhanging on the right side. Park as for Pine Cone Dome and walk down canyon, cross the bridge and then go right on a trail to the rock.
The Icebox has the best sport climbing in the canyon. Easy access, varied climbing, and modern protection makes this a must stop for any climber visiting 11-Mile Canyon.
Ian Green established two new routes on the overhanging west face...a 12c and 13b. There is room for new and harder routes.
