Description
Walk west on the Ten Mile trail and look to your left. The first and most obvious ice climb from the road is The Shroud, and it is only about a 10 minute walk. This route is a lot of fun and very popular, so it's hard to miss.
The Shroud is usually rampy at the bottom with the business being a 30-40 foot steep section. Lots of variations are possible, some of which may be burly mixed lines depending on conditions.
[Eds. beware of avalanche risk here.]
ATES (Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale) Rating
As determined by Climb Avy Aware:
- ATES 2: Challenging
ATES Scale:
Non-Avalanche: 0 (Routes with no exposure to avalanches except small sluffs and spindrift.)
Simple: 1 (Routes with brief exposure to very low frequency avalanches starting from above or crossing occasional short slopes.)
Challenging: 2 (Routes with long exposure to low frequency avalanches or brief exposure to high frequency avalanches starting from above or crossing a few short slopes.Options to reduce exposure.)
Complex: 3 (Routes with long exposure to high frequency avalanches starting from above or crossing steep slopes with terrain traps below. Minimal options to reduce exposure.)
Extreme: 4 (Routes with long and sustained exposure to very high frequency avalanches starting from above and crossing multiple steep slopes with terrain traps below. No options to reduce exposure.)
