Ice Box Peak: L6

This is an awesome hike up Ice Box Canyon.

However, it's also a VERY challenging, strenuous, route that requires pretty good upper body strength for the ropes and climbing. The climb out of Ice Box Canyon has a lot of exposure and can be very difficult but the scenery is amazing!

Because of the technical issues, this hike will be kept to a small group.

Safety is the first priority of our hikes. Therefore, all hikers in our group, including another leader who joins us, will stay behind the leader and in front of the sweeper.

Group Hiking: Stay with the group behind the leader. If you don’t want to stay with us, you can always go hiking on your own, though it’s not recommended. Don’t run ahead. If you start to get too far behind, shout ahead before you’re out of range for someone to hear you. I always endeavor to keep track of everyone’s progress, but ultimately, it’s your responsibility to communicate what you need.
