Description 

P1. M3, 60m. Start in the obvious chimney/runnel, pull over an iced-up chokstone.

P2. M3, 40m. Climb around a low angle, slabby corner to gain the big snow ramp.

P3. Steep snow, 60m.

A single rope rappel gets you down to the scree and talus slope.

In the spring, this is mostly a steep snow climb with a few WI2 sections.

Location

One single rope rappel gets you down off the 3rd class ledge or you can forge your way up on rock to the ridge.
