Climb: Alpental Ski Area-Stellar Falls (aka Chairlift Falls)

 

Date of Climb: 2/23/2004

 

Trip Report:

Yep, ski area was closed so we headed up there Monday. The falls is in pretty good shape considering the weather. I think the cold nights last week helped. Led up two routes and toproped some stuff off the trees. The 30 foot pillar at the top of the main line was nice and fat and fun to lead, the bottom bit is rotten but not terrible. There are big icicles hanging down on the right for anyone who wanted to try that mixed route.

We were the only people there until this guy showed up in the afternoon and top rope self belayed for a little bit. It was a really nice day to play around on the ice, and you can't beat the approach. Sorry, no pics due to a dead camera.

 

Gear Notes:

Approach Notes:

Park car, enjoy the leisurely stroll up the packed and groomed ski run, enjoy the glissade all the way back to the car.
