CONDITION REPORT | This route is in and FAT! Best ice in the park right now, the 4 mile hike is completely worth it!
There is evidence that people have climbed it, and you can hook most of the way up, but it's still in great shape. The line to the left is WI4 the line on the right is WI3+.
Great blue ice, little brittle and bulletproof though due to how cold it was when we were up there.

| Columbine froze up quite well in late December, but as of now it's melting, the far left is the most solid, but the right has the WI-3+(if you like frozen slurpies at 7-11). |
