Description:
Ice climbing up a narrow canyon. Several steps to the final 90 foot ice flow. Parowan is a little town North of Cedar City Utah on I-15. As your looking East from the interstate, you will see 1 major canyon. That is Parowan Canyon. If you drive to the top, you'll get to Bryanhead ski resort. Drive up the canyon untill you see a pull out to the North, (Its your first real pull out with a trail head and fence) From there follow the footpath down stream and over a bridge. From there you will see a small canyon trending North-South. Hidden Haven is at the head of this little canyon. The falls are formed by an active flowing efemral stream.Descent Options:

Well Worth the afternoon.
When I was there, the stream was flowing behind a shell of ice inches to a foot thick. Temps were perfect to make plastic ice... The first pitch is very short (30 feet) but steep. You may want one screw before you pull the lip, but I didn't bother.
Pitches 2 and 3 are hardly worth roping up for. They are short and very low angle. Think WI 1-2. Pitch 4 is what totaly redeamed this route. Steep ramp for the first 30 feet, then 85 degree ice up to a slot canyon finish. I placed 2 screws, but should have protected the top more. I'd think 4 screws would be more than enough to lead. What a great climb!
I'm always looking for a climbing partener. I live in Kanab 1 hour south of Zion.
