Description
The hardest move technically is near the bottom; however, the extended drytooling of the high corner is the mental challenge.
The route begins in a left-facing corner with a fair mixture of rock, snow, and ice. At its top, move up and left to directly below a small right-facing corner of rock running straight up a slab. Here, the ice dissipates almost entirely, except for a bit in the inner crack. That is the sole place for picks, and for much of this, only the left foot gets solid crampon placement.
