| Mile 15.01 right side of the highway Ice Dancing III 150' This climb is the left of the two verglas routes mentioned before, somewhat better protected than it's neighbor. Walk left for the descent. Mile 15.20 right side of the highway The Bight III 120' This route is an obvious, steep pillar high above the road on the right just before coming to the double bridge at the far end of Keystone Canyon. It finishes at a big fir tree which servs as an excelent belay and rappel anchor though the last few moves of ice getting to the tree can be the crux. Mile 15.59 right side of the highway Popsicle Pillar II 80' This climb is located on the slope above the Richardson, to the left and below The Bight and visible from just before or on the double bridge at the far end of the Canyon. Rappel or downclimb on the right. Mile 15.29 right side of the highway Cidersicle III 40' This route is an icicle, "way steep", touching down to the left of Popsicle Pillar. Mile 15.30 right side of the highway Straddle the Devils Club II 170' This route is 40' to the left of Popsicle Pillar with only ice visible from the highway being the 10' pillar at the base. Rappel from Popsicle Pillar. Mile 15.33 right side of the highway Spicy II 75' This climb is visible as a right-slanting ribbon of ice difficult to see amid rock buttresses high above the near end of the tunnel at the far end of Keystone Canyon. |
| Mile 15.35 left side of the highwaqy Hook City IV 240' This extreme verglas route is located left of center on the big road cut at the far end of Keystone Canyon. The first pitch followed slabs and a line of 1" diameter bolts. The climb followed the bolts as they ambled to the left then disappeared. Hike to the left rappelling as necessary to descend. Mile 15.34 left side of the highway Duty Free IV+ 350' This route is a central one on the Hook Wall. It more or less follows the same line up the face but at the top continues directly up rather than traversing right. Mile 15.34 left side of the highway Souvenier IV+ 400' This route is slightly to the right of Duty Free on the Hook Wall and at the top traverses up right rather than finishing in a direct line. Mile 15.38 right side of the highway Lah-Dee-Dah II 300' This route is seen to the right of the Richardson from the double bridge, going from beside the near entrance of the highway tunnel to a point high above it. Descend by rappeling from trees to the right. Mile 15.39 left side of the highway Tortilla Flat V 350' This route is located right of center on the huge slabby road cut at the far end of Keyston Canyon on the left. Use tied off DOT bolts for protection. When formed ice is generally 1/2" to 1" thick. |
