Ice bouldering in Wind River Canyon,
on the way to climb some Cody ice!
|
 |
|
This is ice that was formed from hot
springs that flowed over these small cliffs. It makes the ice a bit
different from normal waterfall ice, since it was hot water right before
freezing and since the water is mineralized.

This is a very fun climb up near Five
Springs Falls in Northern Wyoming. It gets no sunshine during the day
so the ice is cold and hard. There is also water still flowing underneath
the ice.

Neil on the same climb. The ice in
some places is less than an inch thick, so one must be careful not to
fall through the ice and dangle in the falls.

After setting a toprope, we're able
to climb it as often as we want and try some slightly different routes.
|
 |
|
This is Deer Creek Falls, one of the
easiest routes in South Fork, outside of Cody. It also has water still
flowing under the ice. While rappelling down, Neil crashed through the
ice and his legs were dangling in the flowing water.
