Winter Dance: Select Ice Climbs in Southern Montana and Northern Wyoming
Dedicated to the late Alex Lowe, and named after his favorite ice route, Winter Dance is now available at select retailers featuring 380 full color photos
for 300 of the best climbs found anywhere between Colorado and the
Canadian Rockies. Detailing more vertical feet of ice and mixed terrain
than any guide in America, Winter Dance covers the Big Sky and
Bozeman area, the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, Yellowstone National
Park, and the South Fork valley near Cody.
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.
