Mixed Feelings on 12/28/2013. There is no longer a fixed pin at the end of horizontal crack. Apparently a #2 Pecker is required to protect adequately before getting good protection in the ice above. (But after I climbed it today, 1/26/2014, it seems that a knifeblade would also work well before the ice.)<br>

Just passing the crux bit, thanks for the pin!

Charlie about to the smear of ice.

Ben higher, pulling on small holds, looking for bigger ones.

Only one hand belaying me?
