Provo Canyon Ice
If anybody ever wants to go ice climbing, Provo Canyon is probably the best place around. Close proximity to Provo, easy access, and overall good quality ice make this a popular place for ice climbers of all skill levels. The lower part of Stairway to Heaven (just before you get to Bridal Veil Falls) is a particular good place for beginners to learn. There are numerous routes that are top-ropeable with only a few ice screws needed (I’m told somewhere there are bolts to anchor off but you might have to do a lot of searching/unpleasant hacking to find them). There are usually several other groups there, so don’t plan on a solitude wilderness experience. Wear a helmet!!!
