So that would be no, or just no one knows? The approach is to rap to the bottom after a tromp through the woods from the road to the power plant. One problem may be that the 6'+ change in the daily level of the reservoir would break off the lower portion of the ice column. It also make make a belay stance at the bottom problematic. Here is a better photo by Jeff Tetrick, from Wikipedia

I actually recall having this conversation sometime after the guidebook was published, but I don't remmber whether it was in the context of someone aving actually climbed it (less likely) or someone just asking about it

Yes, they used a GPS to access the point from a road, walked in, toproped the thing from above during a weeks long cold snap. They said it was VERY wet climbing, and this was during a once / decade cold spell( down in Spokane at least).

 

I recall they said the river was frozen, though I don't think they toproped it from the very bottom.
