Description Suggest change

Ultra clean, hand-sized andesite crack. Fun climb with some bulgy areas, otherwise completely vertical. Water is very deep right up to the wall, jumping off is safe/recommended (the fall is safe, the water is cold).

Location Suggest change

Just get on a boat in Ketchikan, Alaska, drive a few hours out to Misty Fjords, hike 45 minutes on the one trailhead, borrow the tied up canoe before the cabin, and paddle or meander 35-55 minutes up the lake sticking to the northern shore. You'll notice the obvious pylon looking rock after a huge unprotected slab area in Punchbowl Lake. Most prominent crack on left side of column wall. 

Protection Suggest change

Lots of protection opportunities for trad placements in the sustained crack, but free soloing this over the icy water is the way to go. If you don't jump from the top upon summiting, it doesn't count.
