Planet of the 8's on the Icicle

[Odin]

Does anyone have info on how to access the Planet of the 8's off of the Icicle Road?

Thanks

do you know where poison ivy crack is? just wander up above that for 5 minutes and you'll be at planet of the 8s.

Park at Snow Creek Parking Lot and go across the street. I think the trail trends left as it climbs. Poison Ivy Crack is a left facing corner crack with a roof finish.

 

Planet of the eights can be top roped but it's a bit risky walking down to the anchors. A belay might be in order. The three routes there all can be led safely and take small gear.

I appreciate the information I have received so far. I have been to the 8"s several years ago. My concern is not tresspassing on the recently developed land/homes.

On my drive by last weekend it looked to me from the road that the trail to this crag was going through private property.

Am I correct with that assumption? If so, is there another way to the 8's?

I believe the trail next to the fridge boulder was established in an amicable fashion with the land owner. I think it says climb at your own risk. It has been a while though.
