CollinWoods Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I am fairly new to ice climbing and have been out hunting in the Palisades for awhile now and this weekend i was thinking this place might be good for ice climbing. I looked it up and foud there were a bunch of falls. I know alot of land owners and was thinking about going out there this winter. Has any of you guys tried climbing out there, if so how was it?

Alex Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 1) I think you'll have to wait a couple months for any ice to form on the East side of the Cascades. It's not THAT cold out there right now. 2) The Palisades are very touchy as the entire valley is pretty much private land, and are basically closed to climbing. Please see Washington State Ice guide for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 The entire valley is covered in Washington State Ice. The route that comes in most often is probably Falling Falls, it's a pretty nice route! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineMonkey Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Are you saying that your a trespasser Alex? I drove through there all winter last year (almost weekly) and only one climb came in. Nothing else even close to coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
