Blodgett has plenty of ice opportunities in the winter time. The swan slabs offer great WI 2-3 slab climbing for 2 pitches and then a more verticle waterfall at the top. Blodgett falls forms next to Shashone and offers WI 3-4 for 2-3 pitches. There are also some other flows down here depending on the weather.
