Description Classic roadside. South of Carbondale near McClure Pass. There is a sign on CO Hwy 133 that says "Hays Creek Falls." Short approach is less than a minute. 60 feet. Quick & easy. Skippable if you want solitude or something challenging. Rap or downclimb.
Protection Ice screws, rope.
From mid-winter 1998

CONDITION REPORT | One of the anchor bolts is missing a hanger, and the other spins. Right now there is some tat around a manky tree if you are looking to rappel, but the downclimb is probably safer. I will try to get this anchor replaced sometime soon. |

| Climbed here last week (1/16) and the ice was good, but I couldn't find any bolts to rap off of. Are they there and just under ice or am I blind? Can't beat the approach though! |

| This report is for Rifle Mountain Park. Rifle is in excellent shape. the final curtain area, where the moderates are, is fat blue ice. routes ranging from 4+ pillars to 3 slabs. the real PRIZE is the fang like pillar that formed 250 feet right of Stone Free. I was out sport climbing so I didn't boot up,(of course I would of...) but the formation looks outrageous - if there are people looking to climb some really steep ice that is untouched, get to Rifle. oh yeah, the descent beta for Hays Creek falls: Downclimb |

| Anchor webbing replaced with chains thanks to the ARI. Also, check out www.splitterchoss.com for more info on climbing in the Redstone area. |

| Does anyone now if you can access this from the top to TR? Or do you just have to lead it? |

| You can usually scramble up the left side of the formation via pretty darn easy terrain (WI1-ish or less?) and gain access to the anchors at top. Requires tools and crampons. |
