Caribou Creek Ice Climbing - Climb 6

Rating: WI3
Length: 50 meters

Approach: Approximately 3.5 miles up the canyon past the switch back one will encounter an area of yellow ice that flows out from a patch of birch trees.  Tucked away behind this grove of birch are two climbs of moderate grade. 

Route: This a rather narrow runnel of ice on the right that treads over relatively easy terrain for a good distance.

Anchor: Alders are available at the finish of these routes for a rappel.
