has anyone done any ice climbing/waterfall clmbing in the park recently? i figure that there is some good possiblities all over the park. i have even heard of an old published guide book to the climbs. anyway i'm going there tommorow, so i'll post any findings.

I'm not claiming it's there now, but a couple times, while skiing down the Nisqually Glacier/valley towards the bridge I've seen a very impressive, fairly well formed and apparently moderate (???) line maybe 300-400' tall on the east side of the valley maybe a third of a mile up from the bridge. It's in a shady nook and is invisible from the highway, but it is just downvalley from some impressive looking but never completely formed up lines that should be obviously. Happy hunting.
