Comments: The season is coming upon us again. The comments regarding the time of day for climbing this route are right on. If the weather is solid, starting the route at or around eleven am is great fun. The sun comes around and warms the whole area up, like a solar amphitheater. The sunsets are striking, with the Diamond and the rest of the cirque surrounding. You might find yourself dallying to take in the wonder of being in such a fine place. Just don't do the descent in the total dark.

Comments: In addition to the thin gear: a 0.75 Camalot works nicely below the crux, right after a very thin section.

Comments: Several years ago, I did something different on the last pitch from what is described here. Instead of going left to finish on the upper slab, I continued up and right to a short seam. This seemed harder and scarier than the rest of the route. I wonder, does someone know what this is?

Comments: All right, I think these guys should own up and give this route a nice name, post both first ascenders in the description, and put this fine route - that was enjoyed by more than a few – to a dignified rest; before we forget about it, and it fades away into obscurity. I can’t speak for all of those that climbed ice in the Big T this season, but, all in all, it was enjoyable for me. There was a reason I gave a route the name Peace Break. And, after thinking about it…I don’t want to ... more >>

Comments: Aaron and Buster:

In case it wasn't totally obvious, my prior statement was sarcastic (or sardonic). I don't think it was appropriate to attack Allen; there really was no reason. His response was not insulting (mine might have been). To an extent, I can handle the route snooping (wont affect me, also, the two of you can be ignored). The bolted rappel is nice, you must have used it at least once to rappel (it helps avoid further trespassing on the descent).

Everyone else:

Comments: Aaron, Buster:

You’re welcome, I'm glad to have arranged some fun and excitement for a couple of ego-less, new-to-the-seen, but very knowledgeable climbers like yourselves. Just to know that you two enjoyed this is all very worthwhile. Keep up your good hard work.

Comments: I tr'd the right side, the thin ice over the top was very thin and not really any help, except maybe out to the left; pretty much after pulling over the lip. As I said, I'm still interested in establishing this as a lead.

Comments: Hey All,
I toproped the right side of the roof (forms a short dihedral), and thought it was worthy of looking at again. To lead, I thought, along with some gear, it could use a bolt or two near the top. Due to the small sloping ledges on the right side, even a small whipper looks a bit nasty. I would be interested in checking this out again soon; sounds like a few of us would. Even the toprope was a lot of fun, with the thin ice over the lip, it's pretty cool.
