Note for 02 Nov 01: I went with John Ionescu and Rob Davidson. Temperatures were around 0°C (32°F). The ice was really thin at the bottom, but got thicker further up. Lots of hooking and good foot rest. We rapped the route.


02 Nov 01 - Here we see a few of the ice climbs on Ranger Creek. R&D is the big one on the left just above the snow. This picture was taken from the parking spot.



02 Nov 01 - Here we are a little bit closer up the creek.



02 Nov 01 - ... Still getting closer. From this picture, you can see how thin the bottom part was.



02 Nov 01 - This is from the side.



02 Nov 01 - This is John in the lead. You had to be very careful on this part. Those icicles won't hold any kicking. You have to hook and just rest your feet.



02 Nov 01 - John is now past the crux, but protection is still thin.



02 Nov 01 - Look at Johnny go.
