An incredible line. This perspective is hard to imagine when you're looking up at the mountain, but I hope this photo shows how it isn't all that sustained or intimidating when you're up there - just pure fun!

Topo aspect from Iceberg Lake showing 5.8 alternate start for the first pitch. Highly recommend this variation. Climbers can be seen on first pitch of regular 5.6 start.
