Description

The crux is the last pitch, but the second is almost as hard. First pitch is a very short vertical bit followed by 200 feat of low angle.

Location

This formation was originally posted under "Dental Dome". However, Mike Steele suggested that it belonged nearer Grandma's House. An admin (JN) saw the suggestion and created this "Winter ice climbs" area.

Here is Mike's suggestion verbatim:

"Although I have not climbed them, I believe "Plastic Fantastic" and also "Comic Book Hero" are located at the left side of Grandma's House. Dental Dome is sort of close by but not accurate. This impressive icefall is easily visible across the river from Castle Rock parking lot. It is accessed from the Pipeline trail and the path up to Grandma's House. The climbs end atop Hogwarts and the descent would certainly involve some sort of rappel.

Perhaps a knowledgeable ice climber can verify and clarify this."
