Hubba Hubba Hill

Leavenworth, WA

After some convincing to skip out on fresh powder turns, Joe and I headed up for a little ice at Hubba Hubba Hill in Leavenworth. We stopped and took a look at Drury, the running water along its right side didn’t look too promising. We arrived at the parking area and the ice looked OK from a distance. We headed up and wallowed through chest deep sugar snow for about 1 1/2hrs before reaching the base. The ice turned out to be pretty thin and hollow. The few screws that we did place were of marginal protection. Needless to say we made it. All in all the climb was pretty nice. I thought about all the turns I missed, but then I thought about all the ice that everyone else missed out on. Check out the pictures.
