Description
Pitch one: Climb the Ice slab up the middle for 50 feet, then up the steeper left side for 20 feet (a couple of options at WI2+). Will take screws. Walks up the drainage to the next falls. (90 feet?)
Pitch two: Mutiple variations up short steep sections broken with good stances. The flow is 30 feet wide, we went up just right of center trying to take the steepest part (WI3). This pitch is 80 feet.
A nice climb if you don't mind the long steep hike. This climb is in the sun most of the day (amazing it formed at all), so it won't last long.

Location
If you know where the Shark's Fin Wall or Friendship Seven is (1.3 miles past the tube). Park on the north side of US Highway 34 and hike up. There is a short fall 65-foot-tall flow across from Shark's Fin that is fun and named Ice Age but this is not the climb. Continue up the gully for a couple hundred yards taking the first large gully that splits left (west). Follow this up 2-3 hundred yards to the climb. The climb is in the center of the gully 3/4 of the way to the top of the ridge. It is visible from the road at the 1.1 mile mark from the tube, up high, white, north side of the road. Steep rough terrain hiking up and down.
