Beer Climbs Ice Climbing - Henry's

Rating:  WI2-WI3-
Length:  50 meters

Lat: 61º 29.703' North
Long: 149º 03.451' West

Approach: From the highway pullout (river side), walk directly across the road, through the brush, and up the hillside via a small drainage.  Be prepared to wear crampons at the drainage as the trail is often icey.  Anti-bott plates are a good idea too.  Follow the drainage for approximately 5 minutes to the climbs. 

Route: This area provides consistent conditions from year to year.  The lower section climbs easy terrain, followed by a more difficult section near the top.  On the right side of this waterfall, one can find a nice steep pillar that leaves enough variation on this waterfall to make this a worthy investment.  It is about 50 feet in width at the top and can accomodate several climbing parties.

Anchor: Alder bushes exist for a rappel.
