Description

Moderate tooling with decent protection to the right of the P3 crux pillar of Chasing the Sun. Start on the runout but easy slab right of the ice then work your way left to a crack system immediately right of the icicle.  The protection gets better as the rock steepens.  Place a few good medium sized cams then delicately climb the steep delaminated ice to the final bulge.  Rap off naked thread.

Location

Chasing the Sun drainage

Protection

Medium cams, wires, kbs and beaks
