Description Suggest change

This is the first route directly right of the main Hidden Falls. Bolts were installed laboriously with a hand drill in 2009, and the redpoint was done soon thereafter when the ice was down to the lip of the roof. With many iceless years in a row, a bolt was added to the top to facilitate iceless ascents, and the rating is dependent on whether or not and how much ice forms on the route.

Eds. Per Sam Sala: this route does not exist anymore! The large block (overhanging crux) has fallen out of the wall and taken several bolts with it, leaving a massive hole/scar. This route doesn't exist any longer, at least not in it original state. Anyone looking to bolt the "new" section should be aware of lots of loose stone at the scar. 

Location Suggest change

Start either on the right of the falls to join the climb from the left of the first bolt or climb trad (PG-13) to reach the first bolt directly starting from the right in a small, left-facing dihedral.

Protection Suggest change

Bolts get one through the majority of the climb. It finishes on the main falls to the left or through rock terrain that may require cams to protect the topout.
