Description Suggest change

One of the all time classics at Banks Lake.  When fully in, Razorblades offers 3 fantastic pitches of ice.  The first pitch is the crux offering 120 feet of steep funky climbing (WI5+).  It typically climbs similar in style and difficulty to the Cable although not nearly as long.  You can also walk around pitch 1 on the left if it isn't in yet.  The 2nd pitch is a short steep curtain (WI4).  The 3rd pitch is a long and straight forward WI5 pitch of excellent climbing.  

Location Suggest change

This climb is just north of MP 11 and when in you can't miss the large chunk of greenish ice pouring down the cliffs.  There is nice parking at a pullout to an old gravel pit and a 10 minute walk up the scree field will bring you to the bottom of pitch 1.
