Description:

Hidden Falls is about a mile up the trail leading to Ouzel Lake in Wild Basin. Look sharp for a pillar of ice on the left and head on a climbers trail through the snow to the base. If you don't know wher it is, you probably won't find it if there is no trail through the snow. One great pitch of WI4 ascends the central pillar. The climb is very popular and gets hacked out in late season, but is climbable almost all winter with no avy danger. Easy to toprope WI4.
