Warning Access Issue: Potential road closures in winter. DetailsDrop down

Description Suggest change

Climb either a pillar or a few easy rock moves to start, then continue up broad ice that narrows at the top.

Location Suggest change

Move up from the north end of the Amphitheater and work slightly right. This route lies between Crypt Orchid and Feeding The Cat.

Protection Suggest change

Two-rope rappel from trees. When snow levels are high one 70m rope will do but don't count on it. A hand-sized piece goes into the crack quite well.
