Description
This is a fun, 2 pitch route uphill from Skylight. Wallow up snow to nook. It was featured in the ice video, On Ice.
P1. Go up and left up a lower-angled ramp, and belay left of vertical curtain.
P2. 2nd pitch goes out right up vertical curtain and to the right. Rappel 60m off trees. Alternatively, you may be able to go left up the low angled ice.
Less helmet ice than Skylight.

Lastly, though the "On Ice" video says the climb depicted is Slip-Slidin' it looks a lot more like Slippery When Wet. Feb 1, 2008
