Description Suggest change

Climb 2 pitches of moderate, low angle ice, intersected with a snow ramp. The middle belay is from the ice. Rap from trees. The ice can be thin at certain times of the season. The views are great.

It's also possible to traverse left from here and finish up on Perla's ridge.

Location Suggest change

Ascend the obvious snow gully below the ice. At 3/4 height, move left and ascend snow to the base of th ice. The approach took me about 2 hours, and I was out of shape.

Protection Suggest change

Screws
