Description

I was meeting Kevin Smith to climb Marble Falls in the afternoon and ended up in the area a bit earlier than he was planning to arrive.  As a result, I ticked Hayes Creek Falls off the list of climbs I have done.  The ice climb is right next to the highway shortly after Redstone, Colorado.  I was content with free-soloing the two climbable lines available.  The down climb was to the left of the ice in a gully.
