This is one of the best routes in the valley by far. Great position, great climbing, and one of the easiest routes to get to. On the east side of the valley.
P1 50m W4+ steep pillar that narrows through a constriction leads to a snow/ice slope above
P2 short W4 M5 takes you over a car sized chock stone. Climb past the chock stone on the right M5 or left burly steep moves M6
P3 easier ground snow slopes/ice up to bend in gulley. Belay on trees left side
P4 climb snow slope up to short brittle pillar of ice, climb 15 meters higher to trees on left.
P5 50m W3 sweet moves in a narrow ice fillled gulley belay tucked away on the left side of the last pitch.
P6 40m W5 finish up the apron to a short technical pillar of ice.
