Description
Begin below the obvious massive chock stones. Climb the ice/chimney/rock up to a stance below an off width crack and a slab face. This is the crux and protects with a #2 Camelot. Without monos this would feel away harder. Jam up, pull the bulge and belay from cracks. Continue up the gully on WI2 to another section of WI3. Climb this until the ice runs out and then either rap or continue on loose 5.6 hyalite rock to some trees. With a 70m rap from the trees down the gully and then v-thread/ sling stuff or just rap silken
