Description

P1. Start up a steep corner on good rock (directly right of the mine), and begin traversing right towards the ice. Once at the ice (if conditions allow), you can either pull directly onto the curtain or continue traversing to the right on good rock with no gear. Follow the obvious holds until you are able to pull onto the ice higher up. Belay at trees, WI3+ M4 R.

P2. Move the belay 250 feet up to the obvious 3rd pitch.

P3. Climb the curtain. It is possible to climb the rock to the left of the ice with good gear, and then pull onto the ice higher up if the bottom is not formed. The ice was unprotectable when we climbed it, WI4+.

Location

Continue hiking on the bike path (west) past the three tiers and the chimney until you come to a large pond on your left. This is roughly .4 miles past three tiers. The upper ice pitch should be visible at this point. Hike up the steep slope, keeping an ice on the upper ice flow, until you reach the lower mixed pitch. There is a obvious mine to the left of the route.
