Description 

This is a fun climb that ascends a series of ice steps and chimneys. Better during dry periods or early in the season when not much snow's on the route. To descend, walk off to the left.

Location 

Head up FR 585 past Bear Mountain, Snowslide Gulch, and Copper Creek for about 3 1/2 miles. Cataract Creek is the next line that forms on the left side of the road.

Protection 

A selection of screws and a good amount of slings.
