Description Suggest change

In previous years, this has been reported to be thin and not touching. However, at the time of the first ascent there was ample ice flowing down the face and down into the rock runnel at the bottom. Most of the ice came in chandeliered and bubbly - but allowed for screws in good ice at rest stances between ~ two body length sections of steeper aerated/bubbly ice. The angle eases off after the first 30M of climbing. The position this climb takes is phenomenal, and the climbing is moderate - making for an enjoyable lead. Like most of the routes in the Granite Lake area, this would be a highly trafficked classic in a place such as Hyalite. 

The name of the route is in reference to the hordes of desperate people dependent on Immortan Joe for water in the Wasteland.

Location Suggest change

This route is the one flow over and 30M to the right of "The Dag" on the far right hand side of the second tier.

Protection Suggest change

Screws - good rappel tree at the top - height is approximate +- 5 meters
