Private Property/Skin or Hike Approach MORE INFO >>>
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.

You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

| Its Tennis Shoe Slab. In both the ice guide and the rock climbing guide.
Also listed on this site as a rock climb (3 bolt 5.4).
Oh, and its "rappel" not "reppel".
Cheers. |

| Thanks Brian, We had a guide book that did not feature this climb? I don't know which one, it belonged to my partner. Appreciate you taking the time to comment.
I guess I'm going to have to go to all of my posts and change "reppel" to "rappel".
Have a great day Brian. |
