Description 

The huge flow up the middle of the cliff....
Really fun, one of the best ice climbs at Rumney....
Melts a lot on a sunny day but rebuilds well most nights....

Easier if you start at the left and work right following the lower-angle moves.... Probably WI4+ if you go straight up the steepest parts...Like most ice climbs the difficulty is subject to conditions....

This is a really nice place to be on a winter day looking out from the cliff top at the Baker River and hilly landscape...Reminds you what a nice place Rumney is, all climbing aside....


Location 

Can't miss it...Right in the middle of the cliff....


Protection 

Ice screws, normally fat and well protected....
Rap rings on a tree at the top to the left....

overuse of periods...

Ice is in good shape this year, at least as viewed from the highway on the way to skiing. It's been a cold month (Jan. 2009).

The route is indeed in good right now, matter of fact its so fat and large that it easily fit two parties while we were climbing there
