Description Suggest change

Tall, with lots of room to come up with variations that increase or decrease the overall difficulty.  If you take the central line right off the ground, be prepared for thin-ish WI3 to WI3+ ice on the first pitch.  The middle two pitches are stepped and you can wander up them any way you please.  The upper pitch is glorious WI3 if you go up the middle of the slab, with possibly easier variations on the right side where the angle is less steep.

Descent is easiest by walking climber's right at the top and zig-zagging your way down through trees and ledges next to the climb until you can no longer continue down on foot.  Then rap off of trees.  Two raps with a 70 meter rope from this point puts you on the ground where you left your packs.
