The right of way for the railroad extends 50 feet on either side of the tracks, so while walking next to the tracks is likely safer, from the point of view of the railway it does not necessarily provide a solution. Ideally climbers should avoid being near the tracks whenever possible. We're requesting that climbers use alternative approach trails when it makes sense, such as in the case of the Frankenstein Cliff trail. If you do need to use the tracks, we want people to be aware of the situation, and to try not to spend excess time on them.
Description
From the base of Cinema Gully, go up and left on snow ramps until you reach a right trending ramp up the steep rock wall above you.
P1: Rock climb up and right on the right trending ramp to its end (5.7). The FA party used one point of aid to get over the lip of the steep wall onto the icy slabs. Belay just above at trees.
P2: Climb up easy snow and ice through some trees to another belay from trees.
P3: Climb an ice flow to the huge tree covered ledge.
