Description Suggest change

This route is a bit obscure and can be very condition dependent. It's usually climbed in 2-3 pitches. The first pitch starts between Grand Illusion and Grand Contusion, starting up a thin smear of ice, this can require stubbies or mixed moves rock gear, depending on the year. Climb up and right to steeper ice, which leads to wider flows above. Different variations are possible but ultimately you’re headed for the trees above. Rap the route, using trees on the right, or walk off by bushwacking up and back around to Easy Gully (rappelling is recommended). 

Location Suggest change

Look for the left facing slab just down and right of the start of Grand Illusion.

Protection Suggest change

Screws, stubbies, small trad rack.
