Hessie Chimney in lean conditions, 7/21/06. My friend Chris and I were looking to sharpen our drytooling skills, but we didn't want to scratch up any rock routes, so we climbed this route. As too be expected, the route was rather loose without the ice, but it still felt about M5ish.

Hessie Chimney under moonlight, April 14, 2019. Looked great but was delaminated and gushing water like a faucet.
