John Frieh Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Looking for beta on ice or other climbing options close (2-3 hour drive) to Coeur d'Alene, ID that will likely be in for Jan 14th - 16th... the closer to Coeur d'Alene the better. As I will have a rental car am looking for something that has a dependable, easier approach if that option exists (or perhaps someone interested in climbing with 2 out of towners and is willing to drive ) Any guidebooks I should be looking at? Also any beta on local dining options, pubs, skiing, etc etc would greatly be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Wizard's Lair. Rumoured to be 2 pitch grade 5 on the road to Libby Montana. I've seen a picture and it looked quite fun. Copper Creek. First drainage to the east, on the south side of the Canadian border crossing (kingsgate)(road to Cranbrook BC). 1/2 mile south of border. Drive to end of plowed road (maybe a 1/2 mile (it's been 20 years since I was there)) and follow common sense (15 minutes) to find where Copper Creek pours out of a canyon. Obvious. One pitch. Good quality and good asthetics. Maybe 3+? If it was on the Duffey you'd need to get up at 4:00am. Zero crowds:) GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
