Description Suggest change

There are a few variations with this one. The line of weakness is on the right at about WI4. The line on the left was thin and probably WI5.

The right side had two obvious headwalls with a slopey ledge between the two. The second headwall had better ice (still thin and hallow in spots) on the right side of it, though a scratchy sketchy mixed line (or really good conditions) could go striaght to the top. After the second headwall hike up to a small but sturdy tree for an anchor. There are more possibilities above.

The left side is pretty much dead on vertical, candled and thin WI5.

Both of the lines are top-ropeable

Location Suggest change

This is between the Main Cliff and Orange Crush wall and is probably best to approach from the Main Cliff. Walk to the far right of main cliff and up the hill, following the ledge band, the flow will come from the left.

Protection Suggest change

Sketchy ice screws, probably a stubby.
