Description

A good mixed line at the Pond Wall Amphitheater. Climb cracks and hollow flakes with sinker hooks and gear until you reach thin ice smears out left. Climb up thin smears until you can finally get a good stubby after 20-30'. Trend left on thin ice, frozen moss and dirt until you reach the chain anchor at the top of Persistence. Rap off with 2 60M ropes to the start or rap to the ledge below on a single 60M and make a short second rappel to the ground from the ledge.

Location

Left of the main pond wall amphitheater. Go left around the prominent right facing corner. the cracks are about 10' left of the corner. Sometimes ice forms all the way down the face making for a pleasant but thin WI3 pitch all the way.
