Description

The lower angle west end of Moss Cliff is the site of a seldom formed mixed climb. Locate the route from the road to ensure the ice is formed. Cross the Ausable upstream when it's frozen, or use the Tyrolean traverse cable and then follow the Moss Cliff climbers' trail to the cliff. Upon reaching the cliff, traverse leftward to reach the West Flank.
