Description

This climb has a relatively mellow first pitch, after starting at the top of a steep snowfield. The top of P1 ends as the gulley opens up a bit. You can either rap off of a v-thread or continue up the second pitch. There is a bolted anchor at the top of pitch 2. Two 60m ropes are required to make it down.

Location

From the base of The Dribbles, traverse right for about 10 minutes, through a wooded section along the base of the cliff. When the terrain opens up to reveal a steep snowfield, the climb will be the obvious waterfall.

Protection

Screws and v-threads.
