Description

Climb in and around an easily protected crack for the first 75% of the climb. The crux is made up of thoughtful moves at about the two-thirds mark. Good stances for placing gear throughout. The crack turns into a wide chossy affair at the top. I suggest making your way to the looker's left to avoid this chossy section.

Location

Located on the first southwest face; which is as far to looker's left as possible on the Winter Wall, around the corner past Casey at the Crack and Winter Dreams.

Cross Section is the crack farthest to the looker's right on the first southwest face of the Winter Wall ; 2-3 feet short of the outside corner.

Protection

The base of the climb is on a steep slope, but there is a small belay platform a few feet back. Anchor your belayer to the small tree and make sure your first piece is a cam.

Tons of gear options. I placed pieces ranging from .3 to #4 Camalots and some small stoppers.

Trees for TR or belay anchor.
