Description

This is another great mix up of old Ice Fest Comp routes. Start about 10' right of COMP-ilation I and again climb thin ice to first bolt. You may or may not desire a piece in this section? Now, launch up connecting thin horizontal seams with delicate hooking. Near the top you can either cut right for an easier but longer icy finish (screw), or bust left to COMP-ilation I's crux stein-pull.

Location

It is just under lower bridge and just a tad right of COMP-ilation I.

Protection

A screw or two, and 10 or so draws if it's not fixed. It is easy to view this from the North side of the lower bridge.
