2011 is shaping up to be a good year.

I spent today with Northwest Mountain School guest Corinna on some great ice up in Icicle Canyon, a mere five minutes from town.  We spent the day on Rainbow Right (WI3, 35-45M) and Rainbow Left (WI4, 25m), each of which had fantastic plastic ice and are just ten minutes from the parking lot!

The ice is growing in Leavenworth and most of the routes are in climbable shape.  Contact me for details or to go climbing this winter.  Here’s to 2011!
