Description 

This is an excellent dead-end variation to Thin Ice - worth the time and effort if you're up for the challenge.

P1: Begin as for Thin Ice, but instead of traversing right, continue up the crack system to a bolted anchor. 5.10-.

P2: Continue straight up the ever-steepening and thinning crack and step left to clip the anchor. The most difficult move is perhaps the very last one! 5.11-.

Rap back down (I believe a single 70m rope got us down) and finish with the upper pitches of Thin Ice.

Double set of cams, wires, small stuff.
