Ice Climbing in the Cottonwood Canyons
| Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons both offer some classic ice climbing. There's very short approaches, and good ice. Little Cootonwood seems to form more ice, since most the climbs are North facing. Big Cottonwood isn't as consistent, but when the ice does come, it's great! The most popular areas in these canyons are The Great White Icicle and Scruffy Band (LCC) and Storm Mountain (BCC). |
