Description

You will have to ask Jim Detterline. He and his partner climbed this with week of Jan 14--20 sometime. Looked like a two tiered pillar from the picture.

Location

Combat Rock, high on the left side. What, ice on Combat? I have seen it occasionally. 10-15 minute walk in on the normal rock climbing trail. Climb is near the green slab climb left of the overhand. There are bolts to rap down.

Protection

Screws.

[Hide Comment] Jim and I both decided to solo this route, since there was really no protecting the completely delaminated sheet. Knowing it would only be around a day and we wouldn't see it again for a hundred years, we went with the name "Brigadoon". Jun 7, 2020
