WI2, Ice, 220 ft (67 m), 2 pitches,  Avg: 1 from 1 vote
FA: unknown
New York > Adirondacks > Adirondack Ice… > Keene Valley &… > Ness West

Description

This is the first climb you reach in this area. It is easy WI2 slab up to a steeper stepped section. With the aspect and the fact that it gets very limited sunlight this forms early and hangs on late.  

Location

As you climb the ridge or if you prefer staying in the gully this will be the first obvious large flow you find. The base of the climb is fairly open and tightens into the trees as you climb. 

Protection

Screws. Two rap anchors on trees, one at the top and one on climbers right at the top of the slab pitch.
