Morning light on approach to AMU.

Approach beta. Taken while hiking East to West across Mill's Lake.

An overview of the "All Mixed" Up wall.

Checking out All Mixed Up.

Normal descent is shown in green. There can be potential avalanche danger getting to the base of the route, between the two tiers, and at the top of the last pitch. Buyer beware!

Conditions on April 1, 2006. Approach was a slog. Line shows the route taken with belays. Crux was mixed terrain at start of second pitch

Two climbers and a little blowing snow on the third pitch of All Mixed Up.

Yours truly getting the glory pitch on "All Mixed up", November 12th, 2005

This topo map shows the terrain and degree of slope for the area approaching AMU. (A.K.A. where the avalanche potential is).

"All Mixed Up" on November 12th, 2005 with incredible approach conditions. A rare nonslogging day for this climb.

Conditions on 11-4-01

Scoping out the route from Mill's Lake.

Expect a bit of this on the walkoff - a rap station was available through here just below the bushes - AMU, 11/2013.

Soloing the route in good November conditions.

All Mixed Up, RMNP, 1-6-2012.

Conditions as of 12/2/2011.

Conditions did not look favorable for the climb 12/3/2011.

Breaking trail to Black Lake all day 28-October-2006. Summer trail to Mill's Lake now well-packed (until more snow drifts in!). River route not yet compact and solid. All Mixed Up looking good . . .

Christa leads up the first pitch avoiding ice fall from climbers above. Our line climbed straight up the steep ice to the right of the other party.

Mike leading higher on the second pitch.

Christa leads the third pitch to the base of the final "crux" pitch, which she also led.

Mike leading the short but vertical section on pitch 2.

Closer pix of AMU in lean conditions, 1/2/10.

We did this route on November 6th, 2007. If you free solo the easy slab at the beginning of the route, it's posssible to climb the entire route in 2 roped 60 meter pitches, linking the 2nd and 3rd pitches into one incredible pitch.

The route, plenty of hard, blue ice.

"All Mixed Up" anchor location update.

Conditions after the storm 12/3/2011.

Thick.

Conditions as of 12/16/2011. A little thin. The WI3 line up the middle went for another party; just left of that did not go for us.

All Mixed up is IN.

Mitch "Muscles" Musci rockin' the last pitch.

Conditions 10/16/4. Would be nice to have a conditions picture option instead of this action photo or beta photo only, especially for ice climbs.

A fat year on AMU, WI3+ - 11/2013.

10/24/09.

From walk-off descent, a better perspective on steepness of the route, and a 3 pitch option which worked well for us - WI3+ - 11/2013.

As of 11/21 - thin ice in places, but rock gear protects well. <br>
