Ready to hit the trail @ 8am at the Spray Park TH on Saturday, 10/3, all other logistics are being discussed via email.
Good first ice climb, and one of very few you can do in a single day.
If you have completed Ice 2 or equivalent, and have an Alpine Ice badge, you have my permission to register, and can earn an ice credit (provided that you lead at least one ice pitch on this climb).
Otherwise, please request leader's permission. If you have taken an ice clinic with me or someone else, or otherwise have prior ice experience and someone can speak to your comfort on ice, you could follow the ice pitches. It won't earn you ice credit if you haven't formally graduated from Alpine Ice (since that requires swinging leads), but it would still be an excellent way to get more climbs under your belt.
All logistics to be discussed via email.
