Start up the tight chimney climbing ice in the back and utilizing good feet as well as some tool placements on the rock. This route packs a fun punch for its size even feeling almost alpine in the right conditions and is great training in awkward easy mixed. (Even got a heel toe cam in crampons :)    If anybody knows the actual grade, FA info, etc please let me know. Just thought this route was fun enough to post here especially since for me personally it was a bit of a different experience to the surrounding routes.

The Chimney

This is a very popular area for beginners to top rope on a variety of ice flows; however, there are some harder lines and good leading opportunities as well.... 

  The Parking Lot Wall rock climbing area is just up the hill from the parking lot (hence the name). You can see the ice well from the lot.... In the winter, there are a good selection of fun ice climbing here including the popular, Franky Lee (WI4+), and Centerfold (WI3)...the Parking Lot Wall is far more vast in the winter than the rock climbing area, it extends far to the right to a huge slab that creates a top roping paradise of slabs bulges and pillars.... The routes here are unnamed for the most part, and you can feel free to choose your own adventure.... 

  This is just the beginning, pull in to the main parking area, and you will see that there is no lack of ice in this, the easiest to approach of Rumney crags...have fun....
