Cold Heaven in Coal Creek

Kevin Cooper on Cold Heaven

Cold Heaven, WI5 M5+

This beautiful flow forms in an obvious chimney system, easily seen from the road. If it comes in fat it may be possible to climb on ice the whole way, in most years you'll need to climb the chimney first and traverse onto the ice. Easily one of the most striking lines in the area, it can be tough to find in good condition due to the sunny nature of the cliff.
