Description

5 pitches of climbable ice. First four pitches are around WI4, final pitch is WI2. Pitch 1 can be top-roped, accessed from the right, anchor off trees. The pitches above have to be lead and rappelled. Anchor above pitch 3 can be horned on rock to the far right 50ft from the ledge - there isn't necessarily another easy way to anchor.

Location

look for the tree full of shoes. Then look for a chain of cascading waterfalls between ledges on the east side of the road. the 5th waterfall is visible but difficult to spot from the road, but the 1st 4 pitches should be obvious.
