Private Property/Skin or Hike Approach MORE INFO >>>
Continued access to Box Canyon is at the pleasure of the private landowner. Please...no dogs, no defecating in canyon. Pack it out. Pack it all out.
The best single book for Maple Canyon Ice Climbs is Jason Stevens' Maple Canyon Ice Climbing, available at area specialty equipment shops (or perhaps from him directly if you contact him on this site). Read it, especially his section on vehicular access issues.
All of the climbs in Maple Canyon absolutely require snow to provide moisture for the melt/freeze which forms these climbs, so snow-covered roads are pretty much a given. Plan to hike or skin up the road. It's a nice warm-up for the climbing, and will alleviate a lot of opportunities for a headache.
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,

You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

| Could also add that the bolted belay anchor is on the right, prior to a steep step up into the low angle drainage field atop the climb.
Mucho water flow. Tends to make the route hollow underneath.
There appeared to be more cam placements than nuts, IMHO. .75 camalot but a selection of cams from a 1 TCU through a 1 Camalot might be nice.
170 feet from the canyon floor to the anchor. |
