Tom Jensen on FA.

Description 

This is the second line put up on this wall. About 50' right of World Cup. At the far right end of an enormous roof you will find this tasty treat. A thin seam splits the roof and takes a great KB, followed by a bomber #1 Camalot. It's pumpy right off the pointy rock pinacle you're standing on. Follow the water ice above until you hit a splitter crack. The original line turns the corner to the right and conitues in the right-facing-dihedral of ice, to the trees. A sling rappel will be found on the tree.

There is a great line (direct start) to this route. It is about 10' left of the FA start and looks to be harder, but a #3 Camalot will protect the roof move nicely.

There are also 2 other seams that split this great roof about 20' and 40' left. They both have awesome looking smears running up them. Pins and spectres may be the ticket once over the roof. However, the initial roof move of each looks to take #3 or #4 Camalot?

Location 

Farthest route right (north) before the snowy bench descends downward.

Protection 

KB, full single rack, 6 screws max.
