Louise Falls 2006
110m II, WI 4/4+
March 6, 2006
Quite warm lately, probably +5 that day, surprisingly no
surface water. This should be doable in two pitches, however being
such a popular classic with easy access, you likely won't be having it
to yourself, even on a weekday. We did it in 3 pitches, a lot of people do
it in 4 (separating the last crux pitch in two pieces).
There is a cave to the left of the crux pillar that most people use
to belay. From there an intimidating traverse to the right takes you
onto the pillar. Once on top of this, some people belay from here.
Otherwise keep going up steep ice to a tree belay.
Once on top, the fun isn't over - walk climber's right for
a few hundred meters (trail here
unless you're the first after a snow storm), then do a combination of
walking and bum sliding to the base - who-hoo!
