| We climbed it in late Feb 2010 and it went at M7 WI6+R. I think we hit it kinda late but managed to work our way up this excellent line. The ice was beginning to rot out and delam until the final fatty stretch to the cave. We took a standard trad rack to 3" and a few pins and basically ran out sections that did not afford protection. We did it in 3 full pitches. I recall a few fixed pins in the upper section of the mini chimney before the nasty-fun WI6+ pitch. As for most routes here, you gotta truck in and glass them to see if it's a line for you. |

| Thanks Rob....I thought it was a really fun and challenging route, my partner and I had similar conditions, especially the pitch after the chimney which was overhanging and outrageous and then better on up. |
