This is Brent at the gendarme belay at the top of pitch two. Also, the couloir to the left is The Cleft.

Pitch two groove. This is a sustained groove with good pick locks down low and decent rock climbing above. The gear is adequate where you need it but spaced out further up. Loose rock is abundant so frozen turf and/or ice would make this an excellent pitch.

Here's Brent at the last belay. Steep snow climbing to the finish.
Left Cleft is in red. The Cleft is in black.
