Hey Curtis, better watch the snow plowing this time..... You have to get on the big pillars up the river.

If anyone knows which lines have been led there lets hear about it and what grades have been given at the time. I guess I am just curious about the biggest pillars found up river and around the little sketchy corner. And the big brown ice wall/pillars down the river. If you have been there you know where I'm talkin'.

Dave Lister lead the left side of line #2 (see Joe Kennedy's new online guidebook) which was about grade 4. As you can see in the topo it says albacove rappel required. Dave chose to scramble right about 15' through mud to reach a tree. I think Dave left some mud of his own. The right side of line #2 is dead vertical and super hard. We toproped it and I had to take. I can just imagine how hard line #1 is since it looks about three times longer and steeper. I'd guess grade 5 or more for sure. There are photos of these routes on Joe's last year conditions.
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.
