Rick Wyatt, first pitch in 1978...note the old screws.... He never placed any, it was too thin.

Ames Ice Hose in March 2006. The approach took us 3 hours of wading in deep powder and the 1st pitch was definitely M6 R (no bolts, we climbed it to the right).

Better look at the entire route, Jan. 2009.

First belay station 9 Jan 2010. You can see all the way up to the third pitch.

Looking down from top of 2nd pitch.

Ames Ice Hose---1st pitch.

Pitch 1 was a steep, non-swingin', hookety, shorts-soilin' blast! As usual Jack hikes it.

Zach starting the second pitch.

Looking up at the 2nd pitch. We moved up and out of the shoot to the right side of the upper ice wall. There is a pin and cracks for pro.

From half way up the steep gully (2nd pitch) on Ames Ice Hose. I set up the belay a little short of the headwall due to having been hit in the face by ice (I was a little disoriented but finished the climb, leading the 4th pitch also). Pic taken on slide film in Jan. '98.

Near the base, much of the lower route in the narrows is visible.

Pitch one in fat conditions.

Final approach. Took us 30 minutes to get from this spot to the base of the climb. On the climb we were hit with frequent powder slides. March 2006.

Dan Hughes starting up the second pitch on Jan 5 2016. This pitch had water running down it the ENTIRE way.
