  • Date Hiked:  December 18, 2006
  • Miles Hiked:  0.4 (Estimate)
  • Elevation Gain:  100' (Estimate)
  • Hiking Partner(s):  Doug Shaw
  • Routes:  WI2-3 (6 Pitches)
• Description:
  • Doug and I went up an easy and short ice flow in Vail called Racquet Club Falls to work on technique and placing screws.  The climbing wasn't too exciting, but we had fun and got some descent work in.  I think most climbers probably just free solo the ice in this area if they ever go there at all.  The approach is short and easy.
