- Trip Report Video
- Backcountry ice seems to be limited this Fall, and some recent storms
made avalanche conditions concerning. As a result, Jeff and I
simply went up to Vail (CO) and climb the Spiral Staircase.
Conditions were definitely early season as this was the earliest and
thinnest I had ever seen this ice flow. Despite being a bit
steeper than we had ever climbed it before, we were each able to get
three leads and three top rope laps in throughout the morning.
