That's right. Nothing good to climb at Index. Keep driving east to Leavenworth. Don't let Colin Haley, Mikey Shaefer, Justin Sjong, Fred Beckey, Hugh Herr or Todd Skinner fool you.

I am not saying Index is not good. It is don't get me wrong. But, it is NOT world class though. Never take the opinion of locals as fact as they are always over inflated. Let outsiders give said opinion. Outsiders opinion it seems is that they skip it and go to BC or Washington pass or Leavenworth or city of Rocks Idaho or, Smith Rocks Oregon or red rocks or nearly anywhere BUT Index.
Common man a bit of reality and less hubris.

Its not even close. In fact Colorado alpine is down right boring. Giant mole hills for the most part.

Speaking of waterfall Ice, where is the closest location?
