cfire Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Trip: Utah-SLC - A few Date: 1/16/2016 Trip Report: There is ice in Utah! My first ice climbing trip there was good times, despite the biblically repressive alcohol laws over the holiday weekend. The locals are busy on the slopes tearing up the epic snow year, so the crowds weren't too bad at the popular areas, and non-existent at the remote areas. Only three days to climb, but I'd recommend taking a trip if you want something new. The approaches were as easy as it ever gets for ice climbing. Some random pics: Stairway to Heaven Bridal Veil Falls with White Lightning in foreground Gear Notes: Watching TSA try to figure out what ice screws are and whether they are allowed as carry-on was almost worth the show. Approach Notes: So easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Douglass Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Always glad to see some love for my home state ice. It's not all just desert towers and splitters. I too used to think the liquor laws there were oppressive...until I moved to Pennsylvania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtodorovich Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 so did they let you take the screws on your carry on?? looks like some good ice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfire Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 They let me bring them on after they fondled them for awhile and had a conference. Come to think of it, they acted like I do when I get new gear and show to friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telemarker Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Chris in LDS country. The two just don't seem to mix. But glad you had a cool trip! Repressive alcohol laws and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
