Description
Obvious: Climb the steep, fat ice flow to easier ice slabs for the last 20'. Generally, the right edge is easier than the rest. While the flow itself is wide enough for two parties to share, the top belay is not.
Note that White Line Fever is the natural extension of this flow, offering three long pitches of WI3 ice above it. Each pitch entails snow-slogging, but its alpine feel is worth the effort. For those who don't want to tackle the steep ice at the bottom, a walk around path exists to reach these upper pitches.

Location
East of the east end of Chapel Pond. The top of the flow can be seen from the road. Approach is more tedious than one would expect. Either wander through the marsh along the annual maze of other climbers' attempts, walk across the pond (cautiously, if it is solid), or hack your way west from close to the Slab.
