Description
This climb is located on the wall between Hot Shot and Ice Slot. You have your choice of a 40-50 ft climb to a large tree with a fixed anchor, or continuing up left of that tree to another larger, double-trunked tree about 30-40 ft further up; also with a fixed anchor. (This tree also acts as a "bail-out point" for climbers on Ice Slot uncomfortable with that climb's last upper "wall".)
The "main line" to the lower tree is usually pretty well "stepped" and is about a 3. Starting on the thinner and steeper ice to the left and continuing to the upper tree is about 3+ ("R" to lead)
The anchor on the upper tree was found with much "tat" and was difficult-to-clip-and-thread. It was re-set to the left-ish side of the tree Jan 2020 ; unfortunately most of the old "tat" was not able to be removed due to being frozen in the ice, so BEWARE.
