Kyle_Flick Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Trip: Alpine Lakes - Nada Falls Date: 11/28/2010 Trip Report: Conor, Gyselinck and I had an enjoyable day on Nada Falls. The trail in is still in good shape; the boulder field to the base of the falls is a bit of work, but the ice pitches are all in. Craig did a nice job leading the 1st pitch which is sustained WI3. Conor cruised the short steep step of the second pitch, and I got to finish the climb on an easy couple of steps to the top of the falls. Two double rope raps and we were down to our packs. Gear Notes: Ice screws. Approach Notes: Don't need snowshoes yet. Nearly 6 miles to the base of the falls. Plan on approximately 5 hours on the approach.
