What's Up?

WI4, Ice, 70 ft (21 m),  Avg: 2 from 2 votes
FA: unknown
New York > Adirondacks > Adirondack Ice… > D: Keene Valley… > Round Pond Trailhead…

Description

Another good option if you climb in this area. When formed, this is a thin ice hose tucked into a corner. When the ice is thin, there is still good gear in the crack on the left wall of the corner.

Climb ice up to the ledge, then up the corner to the top. Rappel from trees.

Location

100' left of "So What?" in a large left-facing open book corner. The left wall of the corner has a discontinuous crack, and there is a ledge 10' on the right with a 4"-diameter cedar.

Protection

A few ice screws and nuts & cams to #2 Camalot.
