Description Suggest change

The line starts with a few easy moves under a talus bridge to a flared chimney. The chimney is dead vertical but the ice runnel is usually only a few inches wide and generally hollow behind and typically is brittle. Take a rest before hitting the overhanging section with good gear (screws and rock). Continue up to a curtain and belay from large evergreen.

The name seemed appropriate on Christmas, but it’s also a tip of the hat to an old friend.

Location Suggest change

Head of the Panther Den to the right of the large column of stone with a talus bridge to its right.

Protection Suggest change

A few screws, hex, cams to 2", nuts to #10.
