Description 

This is another Colorado Classic. It is a great single pitch of pure ice, and it is often chandeliered in the early season.

Protection 

4 to 6 long ice screws will usually do it. A single 60 meter rope will get you down.

Toprope Protection 

There are some slings around brush on the climber's left on top. Bring something long (15') to extend the anchors & reduce rope drag. To get to the top, hike up on the climber's left, then traverse back to the creek bed.
