Description A great pitch to avoid the mixed climbing on Lower Hitchcock, or to bypass a slower party. Not a bad climb in itself either.
Location From the bass of Hitchock gully hike north (right) anlong the cliff band for approximately 5 minutes. The Flow will come down from a right facing corner, making it hard to see on the approach.
Protection Standard ice rack.

| Did this last season. Enjoyable, but short.
Quick word of warning: the chandelier that can form on the left side tends to be fragile. It got hit by a small chunk of ice dislodged by a climber above and basically exploded, hitting a pair of climbers racking up underneath it with a pair of microwaved sized blocks (they were fine, just called it a day after that incident).
I recommend waiting on the right end of the climb to avoid falling ice. |
