DPS Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 There is an ice climbing guide book for Washington State: http://www.amazon.com/Washington-Ice-Climbing-Jason-Martin/dp/0898869463/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1287108553&sr=1-1 Also a companion Web site: http://www.wastateice.net/Guide.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Washington and Oregon are both sadly very lacking in top-ropeable, moderate ice for beginners. The absolute BEST thing to do is to take a week-long trip to Banff during the winter, and climb at Junkyards, Hafner, and other practice areas to where you feel comfortable leading WI3. Then there are options back home.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyZ Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 So where is the non-toproping ice in Oregon? Assuming comfort on WI3/4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
