Pitch 1- Climb 170 feet of fat blue ice on the left side of the flow then continue up to and Alder anchor.
Pitch 2. Follow a snow ramp up and right past a bulge of ice and punch straight up to the base of the Crux pitch.
Pitch 3. Prepare for one of the best pitches of WI4 Valdez has to offer. It is fat, solid, and sustained for 100 feet before backing off a little bit so you can catch your breath.
Pitch 4. Climb a wide flow another hundred feet or until the ice turns to snow and Rappel down off Alders or V threads.
