A photo essay of one of my favorite days of ice climbing of all time. It starts out with a 2000 foot decent in to a canyon on the Clarks Fork river. You then walk a half mile down stream along ice shelfs over the river then climb the 4 pitch route up the other side. You then have to rap the route and climb out of the canyon. You can even do another pitch on the other side on the way out.

Big Mike, that granite in your 'Climb and Punishment' photo looks absolutely flawless. God damn do I have to get up there soon...

Can't believe mid Dec I need to be more concerned with getting out and climbing before the ice melts than staying warm while climbing.

I'm thinking in another year or two I'll have a resident rope gun in the house.

le bruce- The granite in these parts is of excellent quality.. The Smoke Bluffs offer many many crack opportunities. Plenty of larger objectives to be had around here as well!

speaking of basalt, here are some shots from an October trip to Frenchman's Coulee with my kids

Mike, where on the Clark Fork is that 4 pitch icefall? It looks great!

I believe it is 41 miles from cody over dead indian pass. There is a spring going down hill from the highway to the bottom of the canyon then walk down stream for about 15 minutes and it is on the opposite side of the canyon. I don't think you see it until you are almost at the start of the route. I am not sure the milage is right but it is maybe 5 miles past the suspension bridge by the campground the road goes up hill and then levels out there is a large plowed pullout right by the spring.

Frenchmans looks cool.

That ice looks fun Mike

Yes Frenchmans saved me. Spent a lot of time there while in school at UofI
