Description

Start up a shallow chimney towards an iced up crack (early season or thin conditions). Follow this to the obvious ice above and pull into a small turf alcove with a good stance. Make a few rock moves up towards the trees.

A tree 10 feet back from the edge has cord and two rap rings or traverse hard right for 15 feet along the edge to a two bolt anchor above the rock climb "Cinch Sack".

When in thin, earlier season shape, the opening 20 feet can be tricky to protect until reaching the fat ice above. Size this one up accordingly and bring hexes, a smattering of rock gear and maybe a specter.
