Description
Omega is the climber's left side of two flows that form in front of an alcove. It doesn't always form every year, and is often free-hanging. Occasionally, it forms a complete standing pillar. Depending on conditions the main stalactite can be reached via mixed route options inside the alcove (one of which named "Iota"). Descent: rappel from trees above.
