We'll meet at the parking area at the end of the gravel road that goes around the east and north sides of Montgomery reservoir- just before the gated road closure.  Car-pooling may be individually arranged from town.

This trip is for those who already know how to ice climb and have their own gear.   Leader will plan on leading routes and may set-up some top ropes if routes are available and unused.  Participants will be contacted to arrange rides and group gear.

Required Equipment

Bring all your individual climbing gear and leading gear if you want to lead routes.  Check the weather as this area can be very cold and windy and you will need to bring appropriate clothing.  We will be carrying all our gear up a steep, rocky snow slope- a trekking pole can be handy and either micro spikes or crampons may be needed on this approach.
