| sshankle | Scottish Conditions  Date Climbed: Mar 30, 2009 | |
| Frank and I climbed this in full conditions with wind + mixed precipitation. I found the water ice portion to be a fun lead of 45' or so, both followed and preceeded by firm snow. We swapped leads for 4 pitches from below the ice bulge to the fixed exit belay. We traversed over an exposed ledge over to Diagonal from the 2 pin belay near the Central exit. Down climbed this route to the ice bulge wich required an easy rap from a horn with fixed slings. Thanks to George Wallace Jr., the HMC Cabin caretaker this year, for loaning me a pair of gloves. Mine were still soaked from the previous day's climbing. | |

| Walked into IME and 25 minutes later walked out with $1300 worth of Asolo triple boots, ice tools, crampons, gloves. Soloed up the gully which was a little scary at the 30 foot long crux but above that it was pretty standard hard snow and I had a great view. Good route to solo because not much ice, mostly snow, but still steep enough to keep it interesting. Round trip (pinkham-central -alpine garden-lions head - pinkham) in 4:25 so it's a quick trip too. | |

| Great intro to steep snow. Short section of ice. There was a lot of snow this year, so I think the ice section was shorter than normal. | |

| ascendingzion | great climb for a novice Date Climbed: Jan 14, 2007 | |
| Had a great time on Central. The ice was fun to start and after the initial ice pitch, the rest was fresh powder snow. It was a little sketchy at times with no ability (but no real need)for protection. Coming out of the ravine and hitting the wind is a blast! | |

| Multiple ascents. A great intro to Huntington Ravine. The route is Not a simple snow gully as is suggested. Simple yes, but definitely can have 30-50+ft moderate angle ice depending on wind and temperature around precipitation- check the photo submitted by myself with the 2 climbers in it.(wearing red) | |
