Description Suggest change

Climb can be done in one 60m pitch but is traditionally split into two. Climb a short section of lower angle ice into a cave on the left side of the pillar. There is a two piton belay that can be backed up by nuts or screws in the ice. Climb out of the cave up the steep pillar. Ice can vary anywhere from fat WI4 to scary WI5+. Supposedly anchors at the top but also a bomber tree. 1x 60m rappell from the tree will get you to the ground. 

There is a second pitch variation if the steep pillar is not in. Continue climbing up low angle gully to the right and climb a shorter pillar WI3? 

Climb and approach have high avy danger so check the forecast before you go and carry the proper gear!

Location Suggest change

Continue past source lake heading nw towards Chair Peak. Climb is in a gully just nw of the lake and can't be missed.

Protection Suggest change

Screws, nuts, cord for the rap tree incase the anchors are buried
Avalanche gear.
