Description Suggest change

These falls lie to the right of the main flow of Willow Lake Falls. The climb is two good pitches.

Pitch 1: Approximately 3 medium screws gets you to a reasonably flat stance for a belay. The second pitch is steeper. Top out above the falls and walk off.

Location Suggest change

This is the icefall to the right of the main flow.

Approach Suggest change

Hike across the lake to get to the falls. If you do not wish to do that, itÂ’s a little further, but you can detour around the lake.

Protection Suggest change

Screws for the route and anchors.
