This trip is for those who already know how to ice climb and have their own gear. Leader will plan on leading routes and may set-up some top ropes if routes are available and unused. Participants will be contacted to arrange rides and group gear. May be cold (close to zero with wind-chill) so bring appropriate clothing. Approach is uphill and may be through snow/ice on boulders- microspikes and poles are helpful.
We'll meet at the parking area at the end of the gravel road that goes around the east and north sides of Montgomery reservoir- just before the gated road closure. Car-pooling may be individually arranged from town. Be at the trailhead by 9 am.
Required Equipment
Basic ice climbing kit- helmet, harness, boots, crampons, tools, belay device. We'll need some participants to bring ropes and anchor gear. Warm belay layers, sit pad and hot drinks helpful to keep warm. Pole(s) and microspikes helpful for approach.
