Description Suggest change

Mostly lower angle ice that will only be climbable on low snow years. The last pitch makes it all worth doing.

Location Suggest change

Park across the road from the Lisa Falls parking area and walk down the trail to the creek. Cross the creek and start making your way up and Left until you find a gully. Follow the gully to the base of the route. About a 30-minute approach from the parking area.

Protection Suggest change

Three pitches, first pitch is the very easy low angle, WI2.There are slings on a small pine tree off to the right side. Second pitch goes up into the gully with a tree on the left side. Hike the gully to the base of the final pitch. The third pitch goes up a less then vertical ramp and finishes on about 40 feet of mostly vertical ice with a few steps. There is an old stopper and two pins off to the left side of the ice. Descend the route rappelling off trees
