Approach Gully

WI2, Trad, Ice,  Avg: 0.5 from 2 votes
FA: unknown
Colorado > CO Ice & Mixed > Big Thompson Canyon Ice

Description

Before reaching the main routes, the gully is frozen and occasionally steep enough to be of climbing interest. The steep bits are only about 15 feet long, so think of it more as ice bouldering. Fun, but nothing special.

Protection

Screws, but the steep steps are short so it is best to solo.
