Description Suggest change

P1. 5.9, 30m, 1 bolt and gear. Start at the base of the first west-facing continuous crack system about 80m right of the Saddle. Earlier in the season, there is a lingering snowpatch & snow moat below this route. There are two possible starts located 5m apart. The left hand start follows a nice right-trending arching crack and layback (5.9). The right hand start follows a broken left-facing corner (5.5). Both options merge at the halfway bolt (5.9). Continue up & left to a ledge and bolted anchor.
P2. 5.9, 25m, gear. Climb up & left onto a leaning pillar then up a beautiful double corner with good gear to a ledge. Step up and left (5.9) to a broken crack near an arête. Belay on a good ledge with two bolts near ridge crest.

Location Suggest change

To get to “Dessert,” scramble along the increasingly exposed & beautiful NE Ridge of Ymir Peak for 120m to a 2 bolt anchor near a sharp notch and steep west-facing couloir. Make a wild 30m rappel in the couloir beside a cool rock feature dubbed the “Fingerboard.” Scramble down another 30m to the bottom of the loose couloir (or 35-40-deg snow). “Dessert” climbs the arête-like feature on the climber’s right side of the couloir back up to the NE Ridge of Ymir Peak.
