Description 

This is a really fun ice climb, partially bolt protected, but not a sport mixed route.

We put this up on the lead, the two bolts protect a twenty foot long free hanging icicle. No drytooling involved, just steep, wild ice climbing.

Located between Cave Route and Widow's Walk. The line doesn't come in regularly, but can be seen as a huge icicle overhanging a smear that ends on a blank wall. On really big years they probably have formed a sister column to Widow's Walk - I presume it has been climbed that way, too.
