Description
Ice Nine is an impressive looking pillar just south of Rampart Creek Hostel. The first pitch climbs up a free standing pillar for 45m. The 2nd pitch is the crux and can be an actual pillar or just a maze of icicles. It is a full 50m to the very top. Some parties elect to rappel from the ice just before the lip but there are a few smaller trees that have rappel cord up and right from the top out (as of Mar 2020). It has been said that the first pitch has a nasty habit of falling down without warning in March after a few days of warm sunny weather. Go early when it is still freezing and plan to be off by the time it warms up.
