Description 

The hardest route at Lac Sylvère, a very nice flow of ice containing two pillars.
Some times the pillars don't reach the ground but it can be possible to climb behind them and transfer onto them higher up.

Location 

Follow the instructions to Lac Sylvère.

Park on the north side of the road near the sugar shack drive.
Hike up the drive and take the climbers trail on your left before reaching the shack.
At the fork in the trail with a sign, take a left towards Baltique.

The trail continues right up to the base of Baltique, from there follow the cliff passed the thin ice sections of Lietuva.


Avoid taking the old climber's trail, it crosses through the maple grove and is actually steeper than the new ones.
Route Start 46.35934,-74.05820

Protection 

Standard ice rack with runners.
Spare slings and rap rings may be needed.
