Description
This is a short pitch of good ice that is close to Grand Junction. The climb is about 60 feet long. Scout the route out from Cold Shivers viewpoint looking up canyon to see if it is in. It will be mixed and not protectable at the top if ice isn't coming over the toilet bowl edge. It has a 20-30 minute approach.
Location
This is located in Columbus Canyon and is visible from Cold Shivers viewpoint looking up canyon. This is a good place to figure out how to get down the canyon. Enter the monument from the Grand Junction side and drive past Cold Shivers viewpoint, take the Glade Park turnoff, and find a wide spot to pull off as soon as you go around the first curve. Walk back down toward the canyon to the monument road and walk until you are on the rim just past a small pouroff. Hike down through trees, ledges, and boulders from here until you are on a wide ledge above the climb. You will need to fix a rope and make a short low rap to the top of the route and rap again off a boulder to start the climb. The approach is easier than it sounds. It is also possible to hike in from the bottom.
