Description Suggest change

NOTE: This is Pontiac canyon, closed for over a decade. The Totem Pole is a short ice formation, one of 7 that have been found in Illinois Canyon, but alas, they have also been closed for use since back in 90's when they did the boardwalk project and stripped out all the access stairs and hiking trails above the canyon.    A true loss from the great ice years of the 80's.  ; 7 ice climbs in one lovely canyon.   Take a winter hike and see if any of them still form these dry, lousy winters.
