n1madman Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) Trip: Icicle Creek Canyon - Leavenworth - Pivotal Moment Date: 1/6/2007 Trip Report: Wih all of the warm temps and the new snow we felt lucky to find the route in decent condition. The ice was in thick on the main flow but getting pretty soft. The top was thinning out in places and becoming disbonded from the rock and it looked like it may break apart if the temps continue to stay so high. Overall it is still fairly solid and made for a good short climb. The surrounding flows were a bit dodgy with some of them actually coming down in the afternoon so watch out for them. Gear Notes: Some long webbing to rapp off would be good as getting to the trees wasn't in the cards. Approach Notes: The route is about 4.4 miles up the Icicle Creek road just across fom the Snow Creek Valley parking lot. Look high on the right side just above the fallen speed limit sign and you will see the route. The approach is super short and there is no need for snow shoes.

You mean snow creek trail head area, right? So, this is around the Air Roof cragging area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 the climb is about 100 yards upstream from Air Roof and then up the hill (1 hour breaking trail without snowshoes through chest deep pow on 12/30/06, but less than 10 minutes down). it is best seen when driving downstream. it's in the guidebook.
