Comments: "Varied icefall, mostly WI3"

I'd say that the flows are consistently WI4 season-to-season, a bit easier or harder depending on ice conditions.

In his book, Will Gadd defines WI4 as "a short bit of vertical ice or a longer pitch of 75- to 80-degree ice". While the climbs at Sandstone or short, the ice is pretty steep -- I'd say 80-90 degrees.
