Description Suggest change

The flow is the obvious steep hanging pillar as seen from the road left of Unexpected Pleasure. Follow the cliff about 100m left of Unexpected Pleasure to find the snow gully start.

P1: Climb the snow gully with a few ice bulges to overcome. Easy climbing to a large tree before the starting boulder of P2.

P2: Start up the boulder to thin slabs of ice. The most difficult aspect of this pitch was getting through multiple snowy top-outs with little purchase for tools.

P3: Climb the WI4+ pillar to the trees (this felt more challenging that the final pillar of Unexpected Pleasure due to it's convex, brittle nature)

Rap: Trees. A single 70m rope will get you down in three raps.

Location Suggest change
