BETA PHOTO: Icefall along the west wall of the quarry.


Description 

Varied icefall, mostly WI3, on the vertical walls of the quarry. A very nice spot for some low-intensity ice climbing.


Location 

From the parking lot, walk NW along the edge of the quarry. The icefall is about 100 yards from the lot.


Protection 

Walk around to the ledge above the quarry to build a toprope anchor.

Some of these climbs can be WI5 or more, depending on conditions. I thought the main flow was solid WI4 last year.

Agreed. Mostly WI IV.

I totally agree with Kris in that ice climbs range from just harder Grade 3 to solid Grade 5+ (all conditions dependent)--plus mixed grades to about M8. You're only limited by your imagination and by staying OFF the routes on the Sigma Wall and Relationship wall with ice tools and crampons.
