Ice Climbing - Grotto Falls

The day was:

• Sunny
• Warm
• Windy

Avalanche conditions

• Rapid temperature rise to near or above 0°C or wet surface snow.

Climbed Grotto Falls today. The climb itself has gotten to decent size from previous reports of it being relatively thin.

Pitch 1 is relatively wet in the first section and then transitions to plastic ice for the second part. Pitch 2 was sun exposed and provided for some fun hero ice. All anchors are accesible but may be hard to reach.

The hike in and out was very wet with some post holing through the frozen creek due to the warm temperatures.
