Gateway Drainage Mile 93/94 141

This is great climb for a beginner lead climber ready to take that next step into moderate terrain. It would also be a great place for moderate lead climbers to take their friends who want to try ice climbing. Would be fun toproping, has a remote feel to it, and the hike in is easy. 5-10 minutes from the car.

Between mile marker 94 and 93 on CO Highway 141 towards Naturita.

Screws and V-threads. Bring a leaver sling for the rappel down. When we did it, it looked like the birds and squirrels used the last sling for nesting material.
