Description Suggest change

Several small smears exist on the north side of the tunnel, up the hill. I've never climbed them, so I'm adding this ice description so people who have can add the routes.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the tunnel. Hike around the north side and traverse up the hill and you'll see at least three formations.

April 2021 conditions. Some rock pro in thin conditions. While these routes look small, they are definitely taller than most of the north-facing climbs. TR access is up right.
