Description
An exaggeratedly “heinous” approach (hour or so with scree in the last third) leads to a pitch of WI3 into a narrowing chimney. Pass a body-width section of chimney of varying difficulty, depending on how much ice, to a large ledge with bolts on the right wall. Climb the possibly overhanging pillar at WI5 to the next set of bolts. Lower angle ice continues above this for a couple hundred feet.
Pick a calm day to do this as wind blows right up the route and you probably don’t like lacerating your corneas with ice chips and snow...
