Description
Located on the west face of Table Mountain. Hidden from the parking lot, it is hard to know if this climb is in without going to take a look. Probably a better bet that it's in during a clear cold spell. Ski up to Herman Saddle and traverse out under the west face. This is a pretty steep slope and can slide (we kicked off a small one). At about the middle of the face look for a shallow cleft with connecting pieces of ice, which may or may not be fully adhered to the rock. Could be mixed, and probably will be challenging.
