Description Suggest change

The Hangover is one of the most popular climbs in the canyon and deservedly so - it’s an aesthetic pitch and can be seen from the trailhead. An initial steep section gives way to rambly ice through a pinch. The final steep section is easier on the right. 

This climb is 55 meters to the anchor above the final steep curtain. There are other fixed tree anchors along the way which provide options. Most will use two ropes to return to the ground with a single rappel, but it’s possible to use a single 60+ meter rope and do two raps off of fixed anchors. 

Location Suggest change

Either walk left of G1 traverse by the wall and up the trail. Solo a short ice step or scramble over dirty rock step and continue up the trail (which is usually well packed). Turn right and hike another minute to the base of the climb.

Another approach is from G1 area. Turn right from the base of G1 and hike to G2. When facing G2 turn left on the trail which follows the base of the wall. Hike for 3-5 minutes to the base of Hang Over. Which is hard to miss.

Protection Suggest change

Ice screws. To your comfort and depending if you are doing it as a one or a two pitch climb.
