Description
Arguably better, and certainly more varied and interesting than PT.
I've only ever climbed the first two pitches and then rapped so can't really say I've climbed the route, but P1 & 2 are so good I wanted to share.
Basically, climb the Thunderhead (summer route) corner on thin ice and mixed (some good rock pro) to just below the massive roof (good and thick ice typical here). Now make a thin and somewhat runout traverse right (small c3's, exciting for both ends of the rope). Build a rock belay at the end of the traverse.
The second lead makes some hard moves up and right into the obvious and thinly iced steep gully. Sustained challenges and some creative protection lead to the treed terrace.
Continue on ice, or one rap with double 60's.
