Description Suggest change

Late in the season, the upper part of this huge ramp on the 'east' side of Chief's Head Peak holds good WI2 ice that we soloed. To get to this, there is a broken one pitch rock band that must be gained below the saddle between Spearhead and Chief's Head. You want this to be frozen when you climb this rock.

Location Suggest change

Descend the Stoneman saddle between CH and McHenry's. We couldn't, we arrived at the ridge and were met with gale force winds and had to descend out Wild Basin. Boy, my wife was mad since I was out 36 hours.

Protection Suggest change

A couple of moderate cams for the rock pitch plus some nuts. Don't take a lot of gear.
