willygoat Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Is there any ice climbing on the Olympic Peninsula. I've seen some nice looking waterfalls near Washington and Townsend, but don't know if it gets cold enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicMtnBoy Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 The WA Ice book has some rumors listed. The most reliable stuff I've seen forms up at Lake Angeles, normally short bits of WI3, but sometimes more. I was up there late one fall before the snow (and no tools) and saw some beautiful stuff formed after a cold snap. It's a bit of a hike and then a trek around the lake to get to though. There are rumors of things forming up on Washington but I haven't been around there in winter enough, not sure about Townsend, tends to be a tad warmer but maybe. I'd love to see that stuff coming down from Lake of the Angels freeze too, but I think we gotta stop global warming and wear avalanche proof suits. I have no doubt there are plenty of neat winter climbs that never get visited if you are willing to make a long trek on skis or snowshoes to discover.
