Description
The Ice Funnel is a fantastic, seldom climbed line.
P1 (60m): From the base climb 20 meters of WI2-3 ice onto some snow for another 20 meters. Work your way to the base of the steep pillar. Either belay your second here or continue up the pillar (WI4 crux) for another 20 meters and set up a belay.
P2 (65m): Climb up a narrow "funnel" of WI3 for 30 meters, you will see a bolted station to your left (note location for your rappel), continue past it up another wide step of ice and build a belay.
P3 (25m): Climb up the final wide curtain of WI3-4 ice to a bolted belay on the left side.
Descent: Rap from bolts at the top of P3 to bolts halfway through P2. From there rap to a V thread at the top of the pillar (70s won't make it to the bottom) and then one final rap to the ground.

Location
From the parking area, follow the cutline West/Southwest to it's end at the mouth of the drainage. From the end of the cutline cut left and down into the creekbed. The Ice Funnel should be obvious on the south facing cliffs ahead. Work your way across the slopes to the base. 2-4 hours from the car depending on how much snow there is.
