Up

• Statistics:

  • Miles Hiked:  0.6 (Estimate)
  • Elevation Gain:  300' (Estimate)
  • Hiking Partner(s):  George Barnes, Nate Stutzke
  • Routes:  WI3-4 (3 Pitches)
• Description:
  • I went back up to Vail with George and Nate (and their spouses) to ice climb at Pumphouse Falls which is located right above the primary parking area.  No one was really motivated to hit it hard, but we got out and it was better than sitting at home.  Although George and Nate let me tag along simply to carry the rope and break down anchors, at least I'm getting more ice time this season.

  • No map available.
• Photographs:
  • Pumphouse Falls from the parking area.
  • A close up of the falls.
