Current Condtions:

Welcome back climbers! The Park is in great shape for opening weekend this season.

Cold temps and plenty of water have set us up nicely for opening day this year. Most areas of the Park are Open starting this Saturday. The ice is fresh so expect lots of small chandelier ice and unpicked routes. You will likely come across lots of small icicles so belayers, be on your toes and stay as far away from the climb as possible.

There are a good amount of spot closures so please keep an eye out for orange signs and orange/black ropes and stay off those routes. They are still growing and climbing them too early could ruin them for the entire season.
