Climbing Conditions

I spent February 2nd guiding and instructing an AMGA ice course at the Skylight area. The road up to Camp Bird is a sheet of ice and caution should be used driving up to the area. In addition the above freezing temps and direct sun produced some very large rock fall. Take care of belayer positioning and route choice. The second photo is pitch one of Slip Slidin' Away.
