Description Suggest change

While the climbing is mostly on flakes, there are some small edges as well. Just for fun. Use the ice at the right margin of Big Blue if you can, it makes the starting moves a little easier. When clipping the second bolt, the best strategy is to reach for a good deep edge a couple feet above it before clipping. At this point the bolt will be at your waist. If you come off here (unlikely) you won't deck. After the fourth clip, traverse right and then up to the fifth. Work up a right facing corner until it ends, then move a little right to another corner and do the same thing. Get your hands on a great flake, then work up small edges to the anchors.

Dropped biners, bolts, hangers, tools (multiple times), and even the drill while putting in the route.

Location Suggest change

The route starts at the right margin of Big Blue.

Protection Suggest change

12 draws for bolts, a couple of them should have longer slings for the first corner. There is a lowering anchor at the top.
