Trip: Leigh Lake/Snowshoe Peak MT - Lake Side Ice

 

Date: 2/21/2010

 

Trip Report:

So PU gives me call to see about going in to Leigh Lake and climbing some ice. He made a recon hike about a month earlier and found the goods. I had only been there once in the summer with the wife and kids but thought there had to be ice in there in winter. We were hoping to get some feed back from others who have climbed in there before. We climbed a great 3 pitch WI3 fun climb. Lots of potential some killer looking gully routes to. The east face rises 3200' from the lake the ice lines all grew the closer we got. The route we did is the one right above his ski pole. 127_2762.JPG

Plenty of ice.

It's hard not to have a smile on your face when you have a day like this.

Gear Notes:

Usual suspects

 

Approach Notes:

About 4 miles one way you can't get up Leigh Creek road right now. We booted and snow shoed the last bit. Skis would be the ticket.
