The ClassicsMountain Project's determination of some of the classic, most popular, highest rated routes for West Side of the Canyon:
Stone Free WI5+ Ice, 1 pitch, 115 feet
Ice Palace WI5-6 Ice, 1 pitch, 115 feet
Soul On Ice WI5+ Trad, Ice, 1 pitch, 115 feet
Final Curtain WI4-5 Trad, Ice, 1 pitch, 80 feet
Featured Route For West Side of the Canyon
