FBCC Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Trip: Boulder Colorado - Clear Creek Canyon Date: 1/6/2008 Trip Report: Clear Creek Canyon Ice Routes, Boulder/Golden Co area Ice Cragging 20 minute drive from Boulder Co or Golden Co 5 minute walk from the highway - highway 6 3 main flows -Beer Garten -Coors Light -Mickeys Big Mouth Both Mickeys were leadable and could be TR with a 60M rope Flows were fat enough for long screws but the temps were high and everything was wet and slushy so not sure what a screw would hold. Did not walk up to Beer Garten as it looked the wetest of the 3 and we did not know how the cross the creek to the other side Below are a few Pics the rest can be accessed at the Picassa Link at the bottom of the post Below 'The Beer Garten' Below 'Coors Light' lower section Below 'Coors Light' Upper Section Below 'Mickeys Big Mouth' Lower Section Tough to beat climbing 20 minutes from town with a 5 minute approach Other pics at at the Picassa Link below http://picasaweb.google.com/Iceclimber39/IceClimbingClearCreekCanyonCo Climb Safe Andy PS.

alpineyeti Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 That's my kind of approach! Looks like some fun ice flows. Thanks for the TR and pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitolp Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) What's with all the WA people out in CO. Went thru the icefest parking and there where way too many WA plates. Is WA hip now with all the east coast transtplants?! Toprope?! You can solo those wimpy climbs!! Edited January 12, 2008 by capitolp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
