Dead End near Beluga Point

Average Rating = 3.42/5 Dead End near Beluga Point

While waiting for my partner to show up along the Seward Highway, I bouldered and soloed some ice along the way. I kept getting to the top of this flow, but did not have the cajones to move to either side and continue...then half of the flow broke off below me, and I had to downclimb the mixed choss anyway!

Sunset on the Seward

Average Rating = 3.80/5 Sunset on the Seward

After a beautiful sunny day climbing the ice along the Seward Highway, it is time to wrap it up. Inspired by Jody Langford's sunset shots, I had to take this one.

Average Rating = 3.58/5 "Pick" a line, any line...

One of those days where the ice is like plastic, hardly have to swing the tools at all, and it sticks with a satisfying THUNK! Doug Widdis climbing Easy Money(WI3) on the Seward Highway in late spring conditions, but it is in early January. Who said ALASKA was cold!

The Obligatory Icy Butt Shot

Average Rating = 3.75/5 The Obligatory Icy Butt Shot

I don't have too many "butt" shots in my picture collection, so I figured I would throw this in for you. This is me near the top of Easy Money (WI3) on the Seward Highway. YOu can see how nice the ice was on this day, the route only lasted a couple more days after we climbed it. GLOBAL WARMING? This is January in ALASKA! 25 degrees and sunny!

Ice Bouldering near Beluga Point

Average Rating = 4.05/5 Ice Bouldering near Beluga Point

On yet another sunny Alaskan winter day, I drove down the Seward Highway looking for ice to climb. With the warm temperatures and southern aspect, it was getting mighty thin, but the ice was like plastic. Here I am bouldering a twenty foot pillar that was seperated from the rock by a few inches. I had to leave the area when rocks and ice from the cliff above began to rain down on me and the tourist who took the picture!

Brian and Todd on Easy Money (WI3)

Average Rating = 3.80/5 Brian and Todd on Easy Money (WI3)

This is Brian (climbing) and Todd (belaying) on a short roadside climb called Easy Money. You can see how close to the road the Seward Highway climbs are, so be careful what you knock off the routes. Then again, half the cars and trucks honk their horns when they drive by, so it could be considered revenge!

Polarwid pulling plastic ice

Average Rating = 3.60/5 Polarwid pulling plastic ice

This is yet another shot of Easy Money(WI3) along the Seward Highway. It was about 25 degrees and south facing, so this ice was ONE SWING, ONE STICK heaven. Rumor has it that this route fell down two days after this. WHEW!!!

Roadside Attraction (WI4)

Average Rating = 3.75/5 Roadside Attraction (WI4)

This is a guardrails view shot of Roadside Attraction, one of the most popular ice climbs in the Anchorage area, since it is only 1.5 miles from town. About 100 feet tall, it offers some sustained vertical near the bottom, and thins to a pillar near the top. This picture does not show it in good condition (half of it fell down the next day) due to a prolonged warm spell and its south facing exposure.

Todd pulling the bulge on Easy Money(WI3)

Average Rating = 3.58/5 Todd pulling the bulge on Easy Money(WI3)

Here is Todd pulling the bulge to the ledge on Easy Money, one of the more consistently formed routes along the Seward Highway. Just a quarter mile down from Roadside Attraction, you usually don't have to stand in line for this one. At only 40 feet tall, and mostly vertical, it is a fun one to run laps on. The ice was plastic this day, with the southern exposure and almost 30 degree temps.

Todd over the bulge on Easy Money(WI3)

Average Rating = 3.67/5 Todd over the bulge on Easy Money(WI3)

Todd swingin' for that last stick before the gravel top out on Easy Money. You can see the Turnagain Arm in the background, the views from this area are incredible. It makes up for the fact that you have cars and trucks driving 10 feet away from your belayer and honking their horns to get your attention!

Brian on Easy Money (WI3)

Average Rating = 3.58/5 Brian on Easy Money (WI3)

This is Easy Money, a short ice climb along the Seward Highway. It was quite a warm winter day (25 above), so pieces of the route and the cliff above were falling off as we climbed. Brian and Todd were nice enough to let me climb with them when my partners backed out to watch the SUPER BOWL. The ice was nice and plastic, but the two inches of air between the rock and the ice was a little disconcerting.

Polarwid practicing rope management

Average Rating = 3.54/5 Polarwid practicing rope management

When climbing along the Seward Highway, the cars drive past at 60 MPH about 10 feet behind you. Besides making it hard to communicate with your partner, you have to watch your rope and climbing gear to keep it out of the road. I am pulling the rope away from the road after I rappelled off of Easy Money (WI3).
