Description 

Climb steep ramp to pillar. Pillar starts wide and narrows so much that one leg ends up front pointing on rock stemming up crux. Very awkward and well protected but a little run out. Enter easy ramp when iced and not so easy when bare rock covered snow. This climb was originally soloed by top rope by me in 1985.

Location 

West of the largest ice flows is a recessed cornered ice flow. Rappel Descent Route with one 60m rope.

Protection 

Ice screws.
