snoboy Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 They say there's no ice in the Kootenays... This one looks like a nice 2 pitch WI3/4. Unfortunately the approach sux0r. Either a vicious long hike, or a boat to cross the Columbia. either way it puts you at the bottom of some ugly, steep, and snowy bush/bluffs that are between you and the ice. Quote
snoboy Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 This one looks good too, maybe WI3 and 1-1/2 pitches? This one is "only" a 2 mile hike... (or boat again.) Access to the bottom looks OK, and you could probably walk off the top. Quote
snoboy Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 This is a slabby thing to the right of the last one... Unfortunately again, snowy slabs protect it... rap in? Nahh, probably not worth it. Quote
snoboy Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 Easiest access, least inspiring ice (if it even is): Quote
snoboy Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 I'd say #2 is the best bet/best value. These are all visible from BC Hwy 22 between Trail and Castlegar. Quote
