Description Mad Dog is a good climb that offers good protection. In years where it is a bit warm, the bottom of the climb might not develop, so it may require some mixed climbing.
Location Descend into the canyon, and hike ten minutes until this climb comes into view on the south side of the canyon.
Protection Bring some ice screws. Nice alders exist at the top for a top rope or rappel.

| I disagree that Mad Dog offers good protection, at least whenever I've seen it! Run out on thin ice, at least until you get to the upper half. |
