Description

Freezin' rests his head on a pillow made of concrete...again...

Start on the left side of the back end of the canyonl  Climb the lower angle chimney with a shelf on the left with ice and dry rock on the right.

Broken up gully climbing with a final hunk of ice in the back of a slot above the lower angle chimney groove.  Rock climbing may approach 5.5 in difficulty.

Can very from very little ice to a surprising amount both low and high.

Rock climbing on slick cobbles on low angle rock...hmm....chase away the butterflies...

Most likely no anchor available without running the rope up a bit.

A walk off safest descent.  If attempting to access any routes' anchors on the rim of Hourglass Canyon, find a good anchor to protect any rim exploration prior to approaching the edge.

Location

In the very back of and on the left side of Hourglass Canyon.

Just right of Hero Hour in the slot.

Protection

Upper ice can be thick enough to take screws. Maybe rock gear prudent. No fixed anchor.
