The Great White Icicle is located in Little Cottonwood Canyon just outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. It is a climbing area that is a frozen waterfall in the winter and a cascading waterfall in the summer months. but the hike is available all year. The climb itself requires ice picks (in the winter), ropes, and good climbing shoes as you ascend the rock and ice to the top shelf. Once at the top, climbers rappel down the ice and rock back to where they started. The climb isn't extremely tall, but should take most climbers about 4 to 5 hours to complete. The climb has four shelves of ice during the winter and each gets more difficult to climb as you go up. The climb is beautiful but may not be for the novice climber.

During the summer, Climbers are parallel to the waterfall as the climb and ascend to the top the waterfall where they rappel back down. It is a one of a kind experience being able to come up close and personal with one of the most beautiful spots in the state of Utah. 

Climbers park along the road in Little Cottonwood Canyon and hike the short trail that is just over a half mile to the waterfall where they will ascend to the top. It is a bucket list climb both in the summer and winter because of the uniqueness of this climb. Climbers come from all across the country to master the Great White Icicle and it could be your next adventure no matter what time of year you want to climb!
