Description Suggest change

The North Side of CP has some amazing flows, smears and mixed madness that is sure to give any California ice climber there fix or just simply mix it up from the mundane routine of Lee Vinning or Roadside/Horstail. Most if not all these routes are only formed on extreme low snow fall years and approach can be extreme avalanche danger when there is a big dump.

Getting There Suggest change
