U3

WI5, Ice, 110 ft (33 m),  Avg: 3 from 1 vote
FA: unknown
Washington > Central Region > Banks Lake / No… > Banks Lake Ice Climbing

Description

This steep line can sometimes feel almost overhanging many years.  If the dagger doesn't touch down as a pillar there is a bolted line behind where you can mixed climb to reach the hanger.

Location

This climb is just north of MP14.  Look for 2 climbs right next to each other and a pullout on the west side of the road.  This route is the right hand route of the pair and harder than its neighbor.

Protection

Screws. Bolts if doing the mixed start.
