Chitistone River provides one of the most wild experiences for ice climbing in Alaska. This style of climbing is more akin to an expedition than to the weekend outings available around Anchorage. It has seen plenty of activity as early as 1987 when a few parties visited these climbs and made numerous first ascents. Roman Dial was instrumental in documenting this information and wrote a guide on the area in 1988 that provides history and experiences of climbing in this remote area of Alaska.

Chitistone Canyon Ice Climbs Guide for more detail on this area.
This area was also documented on Episode 4 of The Firn Line podcast from a bikepacking trip made into the area in early 2016.
