ABS dodging ice on Icerigger.


Description 

Just right of Scott's line, Cobble Wobble, is a route that runs up to the same anchor. No where near as generous with the bolts, Icerigger needs a committing sequence just getting to bolt two. Fingery at the end and still a little spooky. Good stone overall.


Protection 

Draws and a rope.

I don't agree that an R rating applies to this route. The crux is definitely moving past the first clip and is committing, but once the hard move is made, the second clip comes at a reasonable stance. I think a fall here would still keep you off the ground, but not while clipping.

Feels a little harder at the crux, but I think it's because of the committing move right at the first bolt.
