Magically Delicious M4 On Hyalite Canyon's Unnamed Wall
/Location: Unnamed Wall, Main Fork - Hyalite Canyon
Route: 25 meters, M4
The Unnamed Wall is one of the best crags in Hyalite Canyon with many ice flows ranging from moderate to expert and is only a short distance further on the approach than the popular Genesis Area. From the Grotto Falls parking lot, continue up the trail until the first small meadow on your right. There is usually a climbers trail here. Head right crossing the creek and up the mountain side where Bingo World Cave (a hanging dagger of ice) will come into immediate sight. To get to Magically Delicious, continue along the rock band right past Come and Get It, Jeff's Left, and Fatty Access Ice. Magically Delicious is tucked away behind a rock corner and in a steep gully. The route is a mixed route with many places for gear. Bring a full rack and a few stubby ice screws. There is usually a small curtain of ice at the top leading to a tree anchor. Rappel the route with a 60 meter rope.
As a belayer, anchor yourself to the tree below the route. This climb is a great intro to mixed climbing and highly recommended.
