The right of way for the railroad extends 50 feet on either side of the tracks, so while walking next to the tracks is likely safer, from the point of view of the railway it does not necessarily provide a solution. Ideally climbers should avoid being near the tracks whenever possible. We're requesting that climbers use alternative approach trails when it makes sense, such as in the case of the Frankenstein Cliff trail. If you do need to use the tracks, we want people to be aware of the situation, and to try not to spend excess time on them.
Description
Another easy streambed ice climb. Similar to Silver Cascade, Flume Cascade is a long, easy slide with a few ice bulges here and there. It can be long ice slab in early season or a snow climb with ice bulges. Either way, it's a great place for a first multi pitch, a quick solo after climbing Willard, or a place to practice climbing in alpine style.
