Description 

This is a fun route that lies just downstream around the rock prow from By Gully. The ice within it can be quite variable from bomber solid to really funky. It has a more natural feel to it as it has ice dripping down bulges and corners. It can require alternative techniques other than swinging and hooking. In the right conditions, it can be done without tools.

Location 

This is just downstream around the rock prow from By Gully.

Protection 

Ice screws and possibly rock gear depending upon conditions. There are bolted anchors near the top.
