Comments: First tier is in! Lot's of low angle ice up to a fun, thin mixed section at the 2nd headwall. Went about 3 pitches or so until it dried out. There is ice higher that looks fat but will require a fair amount of rock climbing to get to. Please climb early! Many parties getting on after noon....

Comments: why the bomb rating? Bomb="This route was a waste of time; it just plain sucked. Not many routes get this rating; when it does, you probably shouldn't bother."

Comments: If you are willing to give up the luxury of the huge belay ledge, you can get a much better belay anchor after P1. Traverse right about 6 feet as you approach the ledge and set your anchor in the hand/fist crack. There is a generous ledge to stand on and a great place to stack the rope at your feet.

Comments: Fun lead, recommended for beginners w/ small racks. You can protect all but the final flake easily w/ stoppers alone. It is nice to be able to place a #4 Camalot behind the flake before you top out but not necessary. The anchor cable is located below the belay ledge, so you might just thread and rap w/ a 60m towards the large ledge. Watch for a rope eating crack and tie knots in the end so you don't get a quick tour of lower Whale's Tail.

Comments: Led this 6/7/01, an excellent climb! Ample protection and lots of variations possible. I highly recommend the 5.6 start as the moves are well-protected and fun. By not using the crack for holds, you can make sections of it a 5.7-9 face climb at the top slab w/ great pro in the finger crack, or step left out onto the arete for a little exposure.

Comments: Great climb, it was my first trad lead. you can avoid the ledge scramble on the descent by dragging an extra rope and rappelling over the westernly roof to the talus below.
