2/97 Slippery When Wet


Description 

Very fun route uphill from Skylight. This was shown in the ice video, On Ice.

P1. 1st pitch goes up to a small cave. WI3.

P2. Break out of cave and left (crux) and fire up beautiful groove/dihedral to the top. ~WI4.

Rappel 50m.


Protection 

Ice screws and a lack of brains.

I believe the first ascent of this fine little climb was around 1975. Kevin Donald and Duncan Ferguson while looking for routes to climb with International Alpine School Students. However Rusty Bailley (sp) was living in Montrose at the time and he had an appetite for ice as well so who knows?
