Here's the first three leads. Good climbing, not too difficult, on beautifully sculpted Aztec Sandstone. On the third lead there's some awkward moves up a steep corner that caught our attention.

The approach to the base of Frigid Air, by Red Rock standards, is short, pleasant and without surprises. After 30 minutes you could be on the first lead. We did not stand in line nor did we race some other party from the parking lot, Crimson style. There's was no chalk on the route, and no fixed gear. It was a perfect 60 degree day in early March 2005, the kind that fills up Pine Creek to the point of saturation. But here, around the corner in Icebox, it was very quiet.

We had a feeling that mostly it is like that on Frigid Air. Hopefully, despite recent publicity like this and elsewhere, the route will remain an excellent outing for climbers wanting solitude and adventure.
