Columbia Gorge Ice! Post your photos! Mist Falls 1/14/2024 Left a V thread and backup screw 80-90' up. Use at your own risk. Likely will be under a bunch of ice tomorrow. Have fun, be safe! -Kip

A little bouldering. Should be better in a couple of days.

Saw your car at the bottom on our way further east. I see you got the obligatory ice armor from climbing up there.

That's how I got Easy Mox in 2021. It's way more of an adventure to do it from the US side, but such an awesome experience. I almost wish folks would stomp out trails in Silver Creek (it's godawful as it is) and Perry Creek to make it a bit more reasonable. Then again, this kind of brutal bushwhack is really satisfying to knock out, with lifelong memories (or nightmares)

my TR from 2014. The technical skill you describe is certainly adequate, the real challenge is the route finding, and general big-mountain problem set and problem solving. Compared to LR on Rainier, NR of Baker, and NF of Hood - I thought Price Glacier was larger (order(s) of magnitude) and more complicated objective. Technical ice and rock, shitty ice and rock, huge route, NO good beta, route advice, etc ... its truely a big and spectacular route. Very far out there, you'll feel like your on a different planet. I'd 100% do it again, and really enjoyed the mid- to late-season conditions we found in 2014. Enjoy, its a route youll never forget.
