Description

The ice here ranges from pretty easy grade 3 on the right to hard mixed and hard 4, maybe 5 on the left.
Generally top-roped; though it's a good place to practice leading as well.
Probably the most crowded ice climbing venue in Cascade Pass.

Location

Right of the Pitchoff Cliff, directly across from the parking lot next to the boulder lying in the lake.
Approach is about 200' and often icy enough to warrant a WI1 rating.

Protection

Bring a 50' static rope for TRs. For leads, screws for most of the wall, tho cams may work for those pushing out from under the rock overhang.

Workin' the Mix through the overhang. I've seen this ice cover the cave. I've also seen chunks the size of Volkswagon Beetles fall off it.

Pitchoff Right on a Bluebird Day. Rarely is it this nice here. Usually the wind is enough to rip car doors off down by the road. It's more protected by the cliff, but still a chilly place to be.
