Description 

Either belay from the ground, or (my preference) scramble up to a slopey ledge at the base of the real climbing. Follow the obvious winding flake up the length of the slab. Top out on dirty chickenheads to a mossy ledge and head left to find the bolted anchor for Thin As Ice. Rappel the route with two ropes, rap twice using an intermediate anchor on Thin As Ice with one rope, or walk off.

Location 

Find the Snowbird Slab and you've found the route.

Protection 

Pro to 1-inch. Bring lots of small cams.
Two-bolt anchor.
