I& #39;ve tried for years to get a descent photo of the ice in Icebox Canyon. Today I climbed over thickets of last years dried thorns, down an icy cliff, over a few questionably secure downed trees and as far as I dare onto the volcanic tuff.
Safety tip, Tuff is really crumbly, It& #39;s considered a rock but really it& #39;s more like a pile of rocks sorta cemented together with ash and sorta not. Never trust the this stuff. I went as far as I dared.
I& #39;ll have to look for a different vantage to try again.

There& #39;s no access to the canyon from below and downstream. I& #39;ll just have to keep trying.
Caution, Icebox Canyon is not to be taken lightly, this is a very dangerous area. Do Not, get yourself in trouble here.

There& #39;s to much water and unstable ice at the bottom to enter the canyon upstream, so I tried a few more routs down from the top.
