geosean Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Trip: Bridal Veil Falls - Various Falls Date: 1/7/2017 Trip Report: Me and a buddy climbed Bridal Veil Falls yesterday near Index. We top roped the main falls twice. The tree anchor is about 210 feet from the base of the falls so bring a really long runner to extend or it is a pain! The ice was wet and lots of water was running behind so we weren't too sure about pro. Main Falls: The climbers left section of the falls looked good too, another group lead it: Then we lead up the upper falls: We hiked up the creek bed finding another WI3 falls above: We completed the hike up to the lake and took the trail out. A great day with lots of ice mileage. Gear Notes: Ice gear. 60m twin ropes. Looong runner useful for TR. Approach Notes: Walked the trail, all booted out. Quote
Josh Lewis Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Right on. Didn't even know the falls froze over, however that does make sense. Now I'm wishing I took advantage of the ice opportunities. Looks like fun. Quote
bellows Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Nice work! Looks like a good day. With the cold snap recently I'm surprised it was as wet as it was. Quote
