Ice Climbing Road Trip (2of6): Rock Creek Falls

Feeling like a break day might be a good idea after yesterdays marathon, Devin and I cruised to Rock Creek Falls to climb it yes, but mostly to visit a historically significant climb. Rock Creek Falls is arguably the first chunk of ice in North America to EVER be climbed with the (german?) front-point technique; the only technique you will see anymore. Pinnacle Gully is the other climb in contention. I would like to think the MT boys did it first.

There is a whole bunch of low angled ice before the headwall pitch. 
One of the easier approaches for the Red Lodge area.

It was Devin's lead luckily; the damn chains (right side) are up so high its a hanging belay! Retarded!
