Description 

This is one of those "short but sweet" kind of routes. In early season it can be difficult (thin and steep) but later on it fattens up nicely.


Protection 

The route has a fixed knife-blade piton about half way up on climbers left. This protection is available only in early season when there isn't a lot of ice. As the season wears on, the ice gets considerably fatter and screws are the way to go. On top is a new 2 bolt anchor with chains.


Toprope Protection 

2 bolts w/ chains. Installed 11-15-07.

Maybe it's me but I'm pretty sure you should stay off the f------ ice when it's 65. Sorry for the bitch session.

I actually feel the crux of this climb to be getting through the rock bulges at the top to the anchors. There is no gear to be found around here. Would anyone mind the placing of a piton to make this a lot safer?

About a week and a half ago I noticed the pin had vanished.
Just above the ice at the flake is where it was located.
It would be great to have someone replace it. But You could stick a small to med. stopper in there if need be.
