Poudre Canyon

Posted on 18. Jan, 2009 by B3 in Poudre Canyon

Saturday I went to the Poudre Canyon to finish off Ice 9 V10. The problem is about 4 miles before the town of Rustic and 3/4 of the way to main bouldering areas in the Poudre. It’s uniqueness is its defining feature. Not only does it climb some of the slickest, river polished gniess I have ever seen, but it is only climbable in the dead of winter, when the frozen river makes a flat but slippery landing. The ice is thick this time of year and we had a cold but enjoyable session on this great problem. Here are some pictures

Later we went to th Gandalf area where it was very cold. None of the problems could be topped out and I didn’t bother putting my shoes on, content with my effort for the day.
