Description Suggest change

The Reflections climbs spill over the left ridge on final approach to Black Lake. Although the main flow is an easy slab climb to the left, more interesting variations form to the right. The 30 foot wide, near vertical curtain provides a worthwhile start. All three variations end together. Anchor possibilities include slinging boulder that is frozen into place and sinking vertical screws behind it.

Direct decent: downclimb right on ledges to reach tree rappel. 60 meter rope.

Protection Suggest change

Ice screws up to 22cm on lower curtain and a few nubs to protect the thin upper section. Bring cord and extra screws (short) for top anchor.

Toprope Protection Suggest change

May be toproped with two 50+ meter ropes.
