The upper pitch of the route in really fun leaner conditions. It climbs just like Bridal Veil in Telluride, except it is WI3 and only 30m long.

A little more of a close-up of the route, showing the first big ice pitch. Note where Highway to Nowhere begins on the left at the split in the gully.
Felipesh on the crux pitch.

Topping out first pitch, right side-Route 66.
Greg Rossell leading the first pitch.
Fun pitch on Highway to Hell.
Only ice visible January 2017. In obvious avy path too.
The only pitch visible center frame. Taken January 2017. If there was more ice above, it was buried in snow. Stairway to Heaven is on the left.
From the road, just below where you would hike down to the steambed on the approach.
