Description Suggest change

This is an old old TR (questionable trad) line that receives an upgrade like Scottish Ale, and like Scottish Ale. I am assigning it a ‘name’ for reference sake. I mention “trad”, because it CAN take trad gear, whether or not it is reliable is up to you. Anyone who has climbed at Lincoln long enough knows what I'm talking about. As with any route, it can be free soloed, led in any style, or TR’d. Freeze/thaw has affected many of the features on this route, and given the popularity of Lincoln, this route offers an alternative to the crowds. If the original name surfaces, I would be stoked to learn and recognize the historical content.

The route climbs the obvious flake/crack system on the left side of the upper right ice cliffband. It is a really nice line with big features but insightful climbing. Scramble up lower angled terrain to the handcrack. Follow it through 5 bolts to a 2 bolt, fixed draw anchor. An attentive belayer is super-helpful as there are multiple ledges on the route.

Location Suggest change

Lincoln has 3 distinct ice/mixed areas. This is on the upper right area/wall, on its left side.

Protection Suggest change

Short screws, 5 bolts, and a 2 bolt anchor.
