Description 

Home to the popular ice climb, The Great White Icicle, the area offers some decent rock routes as well. Mostly slab climbing with rock very similar in texture to Pentapitch.


Getting There 

Park at the Pumphouse as for Pentapitch. Cross the river, then head DOWN the LCC trail, across the small bridge over the brook (this is the water from the Icicle). There will be a trail to the left (south) almost immediately. In the winter, there will be no missing it, as it is VERY well travelled. Follow this up until you get to the falls. Find a slab to slip and slide, enjoy.
