Access Issue: Private Property/Skin or Hike Approach
Details
Continued access to Box Canyon is at the pleasure of the private landowner. Please...no dogs, no defecating in canyon. Pack it out. Pack it all out.
The best single book for Maple Canyon Ice Climbs is Jason Stevens' Maple Canyon Ice Climbing, available at area specialty equipment shops (or perhaps from him directly if you contact him on this site). Read it, especially his section on vehicular access issues.
All of the climbs in Maple Canyon absolutely require snow to provide moisture for the melt/freeze which forms these climbs, so snow-covered roads are pretty much a given. Plan to hike or skin up the road. It's a nice warm-up for the climbing, and will alleviate a lot of opportunities for a headache.
Description
Rarely forming, but un-mistakable in its brilliance. The Box turns right just above Maple Syrup... remnants of this climb may be often be found on the west-hand side of the canyon. Seen in climbing shape once in the past five years, though there are often hints of its potential on days spent climbing Maple Syrup instead.
Bring the stubbies, and a sherpa with a pack to carry your balls in... You'll need it.
Location
The first route on the left after passing Maple Syrup, located in the west corner as the Box turns east.
Protection
Reportedly, 2 bolts protect the first curtain while one bolt protects the second.
