Description 

An amazing classic climb!
First pitch is just OK, pitch 2 spices it up, and the top pitch is superb exposed steep ice!

P1. Angles up and left to the obvious corner with a short mixed section to bolted anchors.

P2. (generally NO ice on this pitch!) Climb straight up to bolted anchors approx 100ft. or continue out right onto ice.

P3. Angle out right to finish on the main flow or, if the ice is in continue straight up the steep curtain straight to the top!

Location 

Located Just right of the Elephant's Head buttress.

Elephant's head is on the left when approaching from the Smuggler's Notch/Jefferson side just past the summit of the road and the 'Stone Hut'

Protection 

Screws and trad gear required!
