Treasure Falls - 2/26/22. <br> <br> Just a little past its prime. This had a big window on the bottom and is quite thin ice at the top near the bubble. Still great climbing; really soft, easy ice that will eat screws. Make your placements in the thick areas.

Treasure in '07. This is pretty fat conditions. This was my first time climbing it and as noted by others, it sure is deceiving! Much steeper and longer than it looks, even with me on there for scale. A great pitch, even when you have to tunnel through 8 ft of drifted snow on top well above your last screw cause you just "couldn't see taking more than 7!!!!"

Great view texted to me from a passer by. This gives the scale from a distance.
Treasure in unusually easy (WI 4) conditions. A cool shot from the road of me and my wife gittin' 'er done! By the way- "easy" on Treasure is still not like climbing in an ice park- water wells out of pick hole, soaking your pants, you can hear the chunks break off inside your pick holes and rattle down inside the hollow tube up top, there are ice lenses over snow, and all that other stuff that keeps it real!

Kicked a hole in the top. Luckily it didn't bust any bigger. Be delicate near the top bubble, it's always thin.
