BETA PHOTO: Avalanche debris at base of Squash Head (Jan. 07')
Description
The first pitch is a steep curtain of ice about 40 feet tall. The upper pitch(s) is a low angle gully.
Location
The route is on the South side of the canyon about .50 mile up the canyon from the locked gate. You can see the climb off the road in the trees. Rappel the route or traverse to the left and drop down the gully.
Warning! Squash Head is prone to avalanches from above. In Jan. 07' my partner and I found a huge debris field with timber in it at the base. Other than that, great route when combined with Backoff.
