P1: Easy to steep ice. P2: Easier climbing up a gully, with an alpine feel. P3: Short hike up to get to the last pitch of steep ice.
Location
As you are heading south, further up the canyon, keep your eyes right until you are directly below the route. From here, cut right to go west directly up to the base of P1.
Protection
There are two-bolt anchors to belay and rappel from.
[Hide Comment] I feel like this might be the most Hyalite climb there is. First pitch doesn’t come in often and bypassed with a WI2 step followed by climbing a tree placing a good .75 and making some mixed moves to a high stance where screamered off specters come in handy. The 2nd pitch is good ice climbing. 3rd pitch I think doesn’t get done very often because it’s often dry. Dry conditions: It’s like m4/5 with very little pro, there’s a fixed pin like 20-30 feet up and I was able to get a specter and a stubby in up high for the overhanging moss climbing(tip: do the splits to pound in your warthog and or specter). I feel if there’s a climb to use screamers on this is it.

[Hide Comment] did this route and then scored some karma points by digging out two different cars at the infamous guardrail. That linkup made for the most hyalite day in hyalite history.
