Cody

Cody is one of those places I’ve wanted to check out for a long time, but just never really got around to. So, when Matt brought up the idea I jumped on the chance to get the tour from someone who had been there a few times before.

This place did not disappoint. It’s massive, beautiful, full of animal life, and contains some of the most amazing ice lines I’ve ever seen. For some of these lines, the entry fee comes in the form of a serious approach, but being surrounded by such an amazing landscape, not to mention herds of deer and big horn sheep makes the time fly by.

My biggest take-away from the trip was that three days is just not enough time. We climbed a classic every day and didn’t even scratch the surface. I’ll be coming back here for sure.

Always stoked.

Yup, this place is pretty amazing.
The constant debate—do you deal with crampons on the rock, or bare boots on the ice?
