Description Suggest change

Not like WINTER RULES! like "I love winter". Winter rules like "we are playing by winter rules. The name comes from the fact that it was first climbed in mountaineering boots while taking a break from an ice climbing session just a few yards away. 

Though the line is essentially a crack from bottom to top it climbs much more like a face with a few jams thrown in, and of course it takes trad gear for protection. The Rock quality could be a little better in spots but I think with use it will clean up nicely. I found that the placements to all seem solid but each placement is as good as you make it so take time take care and have fun even if you climb it by "summer rules".

This is the beautiful, obvious right angling crack right up the middle of the slightly overhanging wall.
