Description 

Climb up in the middle on the left side to a ledge. Either continue straight up on broken ledges clipping fixed pins to tree rap station or traverse right 10' and climb steep frozen turf/mud for an Alaskan turf climbing experience, bearing left to peak. Rappel from tree or hike down through the woods.

Location 

Between the Zorro Face and Slab Climbs on a small buttress. Fed from above my 4 inch flexible black landscape piping. Has been in in February 2009 and 2010, though is usually unreliable.

Protection 

4-6 ice screws, several single length alpine draws, several regular draws. Large trees farther back for top roping opportunities, lots of rope needed to set up. 2 fixed pins in moderate shape above ledge.
