| Approach Park near the A-Frame at the Valdez Glacier Campground. Follow the trail to the Camp Ground Wall, half way down the trail take the right fork to a short wall. The wall is currently/newly development and needs some cleaning so bring a scrub brush. The following two routes are on the right-hand side. "Mosquito Mission" 5.9, 4 bolts Farthest right hand route on the wall. Follow the bolts up and to the right using the edge of the wall for good holds. Don't get suck into climbing to far on the big holds on the left. The first bolt is a ways off the ground but the climbing is easy. Descend from chain anchors. "Columbine Arete" 5.10c/d, 5 bolts Next climb to the left of "Mosquito Mission". Follow the bolts through some off balance moves. Set yourself up for a couple of left hand clips or you will be bumming. Fun moves leads to a ledge and some vegitation. Climb dirty ground to a set of rap hangers. |
