Up in the headwaters of coldstream
valley north fork lies a nice granite outcrop that
often has good ice in the winter. Ranging from WI 2 to
WI 5, there's plenty to keep U busy for a day. 1/2
to 1 and a half pitch routes.
Although some whankers have named these routes,
(things like "code red" and "code blue") I prefer to leave them nameless. and I've climbed up there since B4
the "first ascents" happened (scoff).
And I'm sure others climbed there in the early 70's.
The easy stuff is on the right, and some tougher stuff is on the left.
Problem is, we're in the sierra, so lotsa days these
things are melted out. Ask me and I can hopefully
give some info on conditions. If you want directions,
forget it. If yer too lazy/dumb to figger it out yourself,
you don't belong there. It's about an hour ski in if you're
moving along at a good clip. Or a four hour trudge if you're
an expert ice climber from the bay area.
