Description
This, is a fun, funky route that looks less steep and less interesting than it is. It may be just a variation. I don't know its name. So, for now, we'll call it Right of Round the Corner. It is left of The Plumb.
3 starts are possible: 1) climb left in a corner, up verglas in middle of slab. Go right in a gully/groove. A #1 Friend at the base of the slab can help. A #1/2 Friend is useful on R. #0.75 Camalot can be useful on the left. The steep bit can require stubbies. This has delicate ice and a nice belay ice ledge. You can use a short Bugaboo to back up ice belay or go right to root/angle/jammed knots/1 link belay/rap point.
Rap 100' to the ground.
Protection
#1/2 to 1 Friends are useful on the rock start, medium screws, and 2-3 stubbies. A small Bugaboo can backup the belay.
