Muga2 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Trip: Newberry Crater - Paulina Falls - Main Falls Date: 1/1/2013 Trip Report: Here's another look at Paulina & current conditions. This was my first time ice climbing in central Oregon. Woot! My partner & I had a great time doing laps on the left side of the main falls. We climbed this formation in 3 different lines. The ice is plenty thick on the left & gets very thin toward the center. We also discovered a cool cave behind the falls. I wish I would have taken a picture from further back; so you could see the whole thing... I hope you enjoy what I did manage to capture. Cheers! Climbers left side falls: looking a bit thin on the sides! We didn't climb there. Climbers right side falls (main falls). There's more to the right out of the picture. Cave behind main falls. Gear Notes: We TR'd using trees above the falls. Bring long webbing/cord if you plan to do this (40-50 ft for each tree you want to use). Approach Notes: Park at 10 mile & cruise the snowmobile trail for about 2 miles to the overlook. Edited January 3, 2013 by Muga2 Quote
