Description 

A well traveled route that gets pounded up pretty good.

P1 - (WI4-5) Climb a steep curtain that usually takes screws well. Find a two bolt anchor above the curtain on the left.

P2 - (WI4-5) Tool over a step to a longer section of steep ice.

Check avalanche conditions before climbing in this area.
Massive avalanches rip down this drainage nearly every year.

Protection 

Bring a variety of ice screws. Long ice screws are useful on the first pitch.

Location 

Third section of ice to the right of Bridal Veil Falls.
