I snapped this pic on my cellphone at the first pitch. This was the LAST of the good ice. Compare this to the pic taken with more snow and ice and you get the idea of how f&*^d up this route was when "dry".

Pitch 2: going left in wet but fat conditions.

Pete T., chimneying up the ice. I think we did a 4th pitch above this. I remember drytooling something fun and pretty easy to exit after this.

Visualize the ice. Believe it or not, it's there.
