Description 

This route starts steep then relents to a mild traverse to good ice. After some stemming between rock and ice there is a short roof which leads to more stemming between rock and a more delicate hanging ice. At the top of the ice and after the third small overhang lies the slings.

Per RYAN NELSON, pitch 2:

Pete Takeda originally bolted this line, as a 2nd pitch to finish Fatman and Robin. I don't think it sees much traffic as it is mainly rock drytooling. Sustained, cool if you have done Vail's other mixed offerings. It is 70 ft and is protected by bolts.

Location 

This is the last mixed line at the far right in the Amphitheater.

Protection 

4 bolts, 2 med screws, 2 bolts and an old piton, 1 rusted bolt that can be backed up with a small cam (the first and second bolts have loose hangers, and the last bolt is quite rusted).
