The adjacent private landowners have been having issues with climbers crossing their property. Please approach from the old campground and follow the existing trail to avoid crossing any private property. Do not hike straight up to the cliff, even if you have to park on the road. Access Fund worked with local climbers to order and install signs along the private property boundaries. Please respect these signs and our neighbors.
Description
You start underneath a roof in some sort of a cave. Climb the thin ice on the right side of this cave to the roof.
Brake the roof onto a slab then on the pillar that raises on your right. You can place rock gear left of the pillar and higher on it. Climb throught overhanging mushrooms following the ice and get to less steep terrain. Finish on easier ground.

I climbed this with Joe Szot, who insisted it was one of THE best ice route in park. He also insisted I lead it, which I did. About half way up, the front bail broke on my crampon (back when that sort of thing happened a lot), so I downclimbed to a stance, hauled up Joe's crampon on my second rope, and completed the lead.
