	Hasn't voted	Thank you! We've had a strange winter this year which has made good ice conditions. Very cold temps during January and February but not much snow.

Fantastic

Voted 10/10

Impressive shot, especially that people are included so we have correct perspective. Without them shot will be OK but nothing more. Bravo.

	Hasn't voted	Thanks! Yes, there are two climbers in the photo. This is the longest vertical ice climb in the area so that is why they look so tiny.

I want to get back there this winter and take my son up some of those climbs in that area and Santiquin Canyon area also

	Hasn't voted	Thank you, Jerry! Provo Canyon is great. After looking at most of your photos I'm sure that you and your son will like Santaquin Canyon also.

That looks REALLY fun! Nice photo!

	mountaingazelle	Re: Wow
	Hasn't voted	Thanks! The first pitch goes up to a wide ledge. The route narrows down toward the top. Most people only climb a few pitches and then rappel down. The upper part of the route doesn't always form so it is climbed less often.

I saw it!

Voted 10/10

I recognize that place from driving through Provo Canyon earlier this year, I even have a picture of it. Didn't realize it was that big....

	mountaingazelle	Re: I saw it!
	Hasn't voted	Thank you! This is a long ice flow. In Utah it’s big but compared to the Canadian Rockies it’s probably just average.

Spectacular!

Voted 10/10

If I ever decide to ice climb, this looks like the place to go.

	Hasn't voted	Provo Canyon is a great place with easy access. I use to ice climb but leg injuries have resulted in me choosing to do easier things in winter.

Looks like there soloing the route, looks like fun but count me out. Although I really do want to get into ice climbing, I have ice tools and such.

	Hasn't voted	Thanks Josh! There are two climbers. The person below is belaying the other who is climbing above and diagonal. The rope is there but a little hard to see in photo.

	Josh Lewis	Re: Impressive
	Voted 10/10	I took another look at the photo which the first time I found the climber, now when I took a second look I found the belayer as well as the rope. Now it looks reasonable.
