Description
The upper big pitches of this route dominate the upper Legg Creek drainage when viewed from the road. The first pitch is the crux and unfortunately doesn't always come in. It can be bypassed by climbing Oversight or Who's Your Daddy to reach pitches 2 and 3. When formed the first pitch is a skinny pillar and over 100 feet tall. It is definitely a valley test piece when it comes to skinny pillars! Pitch 2 is a classic WI5 pillar pitch. From the top of pitch 2 hike up and left for 5 minutest to the base of pitch 3. Pitch 3 is a double tiered WI5 with some easier ice leading up to the last steep pillar. Often it is more of a wide curtain than a proper pillar. Belay from ice screws as 60m ropes won't get up to any trees. Rappel the route to descend.
