Suggested Page Improvements to ** Bouldering in Icicle Creek

Could you add these areas to the Straightaway Boulders area: WAS, The Cotton Pony, Answer Man, The Freezer, and Icehouse? These boulders are grouped in such a way in the 2015 guidebook, and they are all in the same 100-200 meter stretch of road.

Also add the Whip Boulder to Icicle Buttress Boulders.

Two more improvements to condense some closely related areas: (1) separate out the current climb, "Johnny's Bulge," into a sub-area called "Johnny's Bulge" within the Bulge Boulders, then add Ocho's Boulder to the Bulge Boulders as another sub-area. These two boulders are 50 meters apart, and across the street is another boulder I'll add once this is done.

(2) Add the Millenium Boulder area in its entirety to the Lonely Fish, since they're just across the street from one another. I didn't take sub-areas into account when I first made the Millenium Boulder.

Description Suggestion

Some of the best bouldering in the state can be found up in the Icicle. The [[105792632]], Mad Meadows, and plenty of outlying boulders provide a wealth of terrain to test one's self. The legend goes that there are great boulders within walking distance of any pullout up Icicle Road - and this legend is true! In addition to the hundreds of roadside problems, there are endless boulder-filled plateaus up on the north side of the canyon, dozens of scary riverside highballs and deep/shallow water solos, and plenty of untapped potential on the inaccessible south side of the river and farther upcanyon. The one detractor to Icicle bouldering is the access issues: increased privatization and irrigation development has closed off some areas, so try to keep your impact low on the many sectors that are on or nearby public land. You can find shady woods in the summer, sun-raked plazas in the fall, lonely test pieces hiding on the hillside or busy circuit circuses with room for everyone. Welcome to the Icicle, crown jewel of Leavenworth bouldering.
