MEXICAN MAID

      On 1/11/2010 Shannon Stegg and myself along with a kid named Seth knocked out this soon to be a Georgia classic ice route.  This route is on public Forest Service land and is located between Clayton GA and Hiawassee GA on Hwy 76.  Park near the power substation without blocking the gate, cross the creek and walk up the hill.  This route can be done in two short pitches or one long pitch.  With rope drag and such, the two pitch option seems like the best way.  Pitch one is Grade 5 and pitch two is Grade 4.  This thing was very delicate and large chunks had melted and fallen off by the time we got it done.  Start early and climb fast.

NOTICE THE CIRCLED CLIMBER IN THE CENTER PIC.  DECENT SIZED ROUTE, EH?

MORE TO COME SOON ON THIS JEWEL!!!!
