Description Suggest change

P1: A hundred yards from the road, climb a short pitch of steep ice (WI4?). Belay on boulders or on ice in the creek.

Slog 250' up the creek (WI2). With low snow, this might be fun, otherwise it's probably best to parallel the creek to stay dry. The hook in the creek below P2 can be bypassed left via tenuous scrambling.

Alternatively, P1 and the creek slogging can be mostly bypassed by hiking up an old roadcut (or just directly up the hill north of the creek).

P2: Climb a beautiful, sustained 100' pitch to a ledge (WI4). Several independent lines exist, generally steeper on the right. Belay on screws or an iffy root snarl above the topout, or continue up a short step and search for something better on the terrace.

P3: A final 100' pitch leads to the top (WI3-4). Generally easier on the right. Belay on a cluster of fat willows above the topout.

Rappel the route (not ideal), or walk off left or right (but mind avalanche danger). The walkoff to the south (right) leads to the Masters Wall for more climbing.

Early in the season, the topouts may have no ice, keeping things interesting.

Location Suggest change

Travel 3.1 miles up CR 4, staying right at the forks. Green Mountain Falls appears just above the road to the left.

Protection Suggest change

Ice screws and long runners.
