Per "H" Lampasso: North Cheyenne Canyon is currently closed (12/2/13) due to the effects of the summer rain & floods.
Description
A good 2 pitch ice climb in the Colorado Springs area. First pitch, I believe is 40 or so feet. Second pitch is close to 110 feet. Top rope off the tree on the right of the 2nd pitch. We used a 70 meter rope and had a few feet to spare. The trail can be found by looking for boot and crampon marks heading downhill. A great place to take beginners to get a feel for steep ice. Better than the hacked out Silver Cascade Slab.
NOTE
This was on private property.
Three years ago, Rick Gieman, in one of his last efforts before retiring from Colorado Springs Park & Rec Dept., was able to secure an easment for CS Park and Rec. from the Hills, who own Seven Falls, allowing ice climber access to Hully Gully from the Old Stage Road. This easement does not include Ramona Falls, which is still off-limits.
