Description
Great route! You generally start left of the buttress going up often thin ice on a rock slab, but it's also possible to head straight up a smear on the buttress (or un-protected rock with slung shrubs).
The route is deceiving in that you can't see the top. with 60 meters it can be done in 2 pitches. When you get to the top look for trees slung to rap off of. This route is rarely in WI4+ shape. Rockfall up high in the past 15 years has left it less steep in the middle of the flow. The first pitch is easier, maybe 3+ and can make a great outing by itself. On P2, usually a WI4 line can be found.
