Ice Path Gold & Silver · Johto landmark

Map of Ice Path in Pokémon Gold and Silver — 1F (in-game map)

The Ice Path is a frozen cave linking Route 44 with Blackthorn City, and the only way to reach Clair's Gym. Its floors are covered in slippery ice, so you slide until you hit an obstacle, and one floor has boulders you push into holes with Strength to open a route below. HM07 Waterfall is found on the first floor, on the far side of an ice patch.

Tips

Grab HM07 Waterfall on 1F; you need Clair's Rising Badge to use it outside battle.
On B1F, push the boulders into the holes with Strength so you can cross the floor beneath.
In Silver, Delibird lives here (up to 20% at any time of day); it is not found here in Gold.
Jynx and Swinub appear on every floor, and Swinub is the most common encounter.
The NeverMeltIce on B3F powers up Ice-type moves; a smashable rock is also on that floor.
Carry Ice Heals, and bring Fire moves, which hit Swinub, Jynx and Delibird hard.
