cuz Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 Any quality waterfall ice in western / central OR? I'm looking for something reliable that is fairly accessible, (even in winter), preferably at least WI 3. Multi pitch would be cool too. (Maybe I'm asking for too much?) Before you reply I already know about the following: - Columbia gorge. Freezes once every five years for two weeks. I wouldn't call this reliable. - Elliot glacier on Hood. Been there, done that. It's not waterfall ice, but if you're there at the right time it can be sweet. On the other hand, it's not very accessible in the winter / spring, and quality varies substantially depending on weather conditions. I know there are some waterfalls in the Bend area (Tumalo and a couple of others on the Deschutes river just upstream of town). Do these ever freeze? Any other places folks could recommend?

haireball Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 spent a lot of years in Oregon, and I respectfully suggest that the best waterfall climbing in Oregon is in Washington... if my memory serves, there's no such thing as dependable waterfall ice anywhere in Oregon... Crown Point in the gorge came the closest to being dependable during the years I lived down there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
