Details
Over the years, this route has had intermittent access issues. At times, it has been legal. At times, it has been completely illegal.
Description
This is as thin, steep, and hard, as Ames Ice Hose but more demanding. Because Bridalveil Falls is the big draw here, this is not climbed as often as the Hose.
Pitch 1 climbs the right wall of a big corner on thin, vertical ice. I placed at least one knifeblade on this pitch. Belay on a bench.
Pitch 2 climbs more vertical ice. Apparently, this pitch can be mixed as well. For us, it was all ice but on the "hard to get a good screw in" side of things.
Pitch 3 climbs up a chimney to the top, which is more or less mixed depending on conditions.
Rap the route.
