Description Suggest change

Two long pitches of ice.

P1 (WI5): Steep and sustained. Build own anchor if anchor bolts are covered with ice.

P2 (WI4-5): Climb a series of steps to trees.

Descent: Double rope rappel from webbing on trees. If P1 anchors are not covered with ice it is possible to descend with a single 70m rope with two rappels.

Check avalanche conditions before climbing in this area.
Massive avalanches rip down this drainage nearly every year.

Location Suggest change

First tongue of ice to the right of Bridal Veil Falls.

Protection Suggest change

Pro: Ice screws, webbing, and anchor material
Rope: Double ropes best. Can be done with a single 70m rope, but if the P1 anchors are covered with ice be prepared to leave screws/ice-threads behind for the second rappel.
