Description

Bushido is a worthwhile and fun addition to Wingman that can also been seen from the road if it's in.

After topping out Wingman, wallow your way up about 70 meters of snow gully above with a couple of rock/ice steps to surmount before getting to a large boulder and the 50 meters of ice. 
We climbed the flow next to the boulder, fought through a couple frozen bushes (hence the name), and connected with the steeper upper section. A more adventurous line could go via chimneying and stemming off the boulder and into the ice on the corner.
Three 60 meter rappels gets you to the base of Wingman.
