I was up at East Portal/Rollins Tunnel yesterday doing some BC skiing (great conditions, by the way) and again noticed a significant ice flow on the south side of the valley. It's visible from about a quarter mile in from the TH and looks like it would be a good bushwhack to get there. Does this ring bells for anyone? Looks like a single fall, perhaps 30-50' tall.

Its probably this one:

The approach isnt so bad, and is usually well defined by later in the season.

Charles,
It's climbable, the hike in isn't too bad, a bit of a trail breaker, as not many folks go up there. Its only 30 or 40 feet long, WI2+ ish and maybe wide enough on good seasons for 3 different lines. Jazz and I have climbed it before.

Cool. Thanks everyone. Given the approach, I might not mind the fact that it's short.
