Introduction


In March 2005, a historical feature to select routes in southwest Montana appeared in Rock & Ice Magazine (#140, pages 60-64). Routes highlighted include: California Ice, Green Gully, Mummy Cooler, The Matriarch, Unnamed Wall and Winter Dance. Click here to read the complete version before it was wacked down to fit the mag.

An abridged version of an article about the history of ice climbing around Cody was published in the "Native Stones" column of Gripped Magazine, Vol 6, #6, December 2004. Click here to view the feature-length version.

South Fork of the Shoshone Overview Map:

Winter Dance is the culmination of Josephson's 15 years thinking and writing about ice climbs. Bringing together the stories and photographs from 25 years of route development, Winter Dance represents the first time, in-depth and comprehensive coverage has been written for the area. It includes historic routes like: Rock Creek Falls (1968), the first "front-point" route in America; all of Alex Lowe's ground-breaking mixed routes in Hyalite and Cody, which remain among the most serious leads ever; to the most concentrated ice climbing venue in the lower 48, the South Fork of the Shoshone River in Wyoming.
