Access Issue: Yield to mining vehicle traffic
Details
Revenue and Camp Bird Mines have resumed mining activities further up Camp Bird Rd. A new sign posted in February 2013 caused some tension as described in:
watchnewspapers.com/view/fu…
Please refrain from blocking the road, yield to oncoming mining vehicle traffic, and be careful of rockfall and icefall. Please share the road to minimize future access issues with the road's multiple user groups.

Description
Climb the ice in the dihedral immediately right of Slip Slidin' Away up to the big roof and the end of the ice. Traverse out right along a horizontal with fixed pins to a fixed pin anchor. There is a ledge as big as a table top from which to belay. Continue up the pockets and thin cracks right above the belay or step right ten feet and go up the ice-filled chimney that has some little ice hummocks. Rock pro is needed for sure. One can angle up and left and find more ice out left or just go straight up.
There are three variations/possibilities.
You have to climb the second pitch no matter what the conditions of the ice. If you can climb the traverse out of the first pitch of Tourist Trap, you climb the second pitch. This is a two pitch climb.
Most rap from here, but in cooler years, you may be able to add another pitch.
This is a decent route worth doing if you are in the area.
