Description [Suggest Change]
Begin on runnel with a tree frozen in it. Narrow with fun moves on solid pick holds. Hook tree and exit to next ice flow. Above that move far left on ledge (rock climbing trail) to reconnect to main flow. Move up this to a big belay ledge with trees. There are enough trees for anchors. On the 110 foot first pitch I only used trees. I could have only used screws. The second pitch goes over a bulge and then goes left with the ice becoming less and less until snow is taken to the top for a belay from the trees. Didn't seem like it but the rope was about 90 feet to the trees. I put in a screw and only brought one screw. I could have put in at least two more on easy ice. The route is separated by steep snow a lot with frozen dirt for tool placements sometimes. That's why its called boulder problems.
Location [Suggest Change]
Go straight up from the east end of the main cliff small parking lot, a very short distance. This climb is just right uphill from the main widest flow.
Walk off right or east to reach a stream and follow it down far right of it and then go down to the parking lot. Better to rappel if your unfamiliar with the area for descent or walk west towards Kennel Wall Trail.

Protection [Suggest Change]
6 to 8 screws, or a few screws and several shoulder slings and one much longer sling is convenient for belaying.

The route description referred to being in the G Spot with the fixed rope and all mentioned. The tie off to the fixed rope was down left of where we started. The guide book puts the fixed rope at Kagels and locks. To the left of us was the fixed rope to go west to the main flow and rock climbing routes.
Thanks for volunteering and I could include one sport route reference to a potential climb. I don't know where Drip of fools is but by guide book it seems down left of where we started.
Really weird this area has not seen ice climbing traffic before. I saw it from the trail down from Kennel Wall. I don't know how to move Boulder Problems to the G Spot area and it will likely have to be done by an administrator. Now I've gone and done it again, Matt. My idiocy to repeat processes has expenditure by others that must get involved to have it reset up. It seems I got away with putting Makamah Road in the Hinterlands? I didn't get away with it this area. So be it.
I've pretty much figured this place out for winter except this bolted climb on the trail to 'Bumpin the Gate' that has a pink ribbon tied below it.

Once you have the correct areas set up properly, if you need any thing moved, just let an admin know, Bradley, and it is no problem.
Relating the ice routes to commonly know rock routes if they are nearby will help clarify locations. Jan 7, 2013
