Access Issue: Private Property/Skin or Hike Approach
Details
Continued access to Box Canyon is at the pleasure of the private landowner. Please...no dogs, no defecating in canyon. Pack it out. Pack it all out.
The best single book for Maple Canyon Ice Climbs is Jason Stevens' Maple Canyon Ice Climbing, available at area specialty equipment shops (or perhaps from him directly if you contact him on this site). Read it, especially his section on vehicular access issues.
All of the climbs in Maple Canyon absolutely require snow to provide moisture for the melt/freeze which forms these climbs, so snow-covered roads are pretty much a given. Plan to hike or skin up the road. It's a nice warm-up for the climbing, and will alleviate a lot of opportunities for a headache.
Description
Single 130 foot pitch to a bolted belay/rappel anchor. Much lower angle with step rests compared to the steeper "Fling" route to the right.
Location
At the far left end of Orangutan Wall. Located to the left of Get Whacked. In Jasons ice guide, this would be the left hand route listed as Route 5, "two potential routes (thin smears)". Just to the right of a small right facing corner. Tops out below a short rock tower in a shallow alcove.
