Description 

The much tamer side of Bridal Veil Falls, ranging from WI2 to WI2+. Ice is generally VERY fat. Watch for thin ice in the middle of the pool and near the vertical ice in the middle.

Location 

Pick your path up through the bulges. There is a fairly obvious trail from the top of the Falls that leads to Upper Bridal Veil and/or the road, or rappel back down to the very bottom and hike out.

Protection 

Standard ice rack. You can TR off a tree at the top on the right (see existing rap slings), and with a directional you can set up two different lines. A 60m rope is all that's required, if you extend the tree anchor.
