Description Suggest change

Pitch 1
Slippery When Wet climbs up smooth, waterslideish rock on the left side of the wall. The first clip is 20' off the deck. Continue up well spaced bolts (15' apart) on glacier polished rock to complete the first eighty foot pitch.

Pitch 2
After crossing a shelf with some alders you continue up a steeper ,second face of solid, smooth rock. Climb on rounded holds and small ledges for some very enjoyable moves with a spectacular view. Follow the bolts up this crux pitch to a two bolt anchor and do a double rap to get back to the ground.

Location Suggest change

Slippery When Wet is located on the two tear rock outcropping encountered shortly after the approach avalanche. Scramble up a scree slope toward a small waterfall gully then traverse right to the wall. This area is a few hundred yards down valley from the main Byron Glacier Wall.

Protection Suggest change

P1 6 bolts, 2 bolt anchor, several bolts appear to have been sheared off this, climb at your own risk. 

P2 8 bolts, 2 bolt anchor
