Description Suggest change

P1- WI3 M6: Start on the ice and make a few moves before transitioning to rock. The climbing above the ice is in an awesome corner and the crux is around mid height mantling over an overhung bulge. Afterwards, the climbing eases up and you trend up and right to the anchor. 100’ 10 bolts

P2- M9: The money pitch! Similar climbing to the crux pitch of Nutcracker, just a little harder. Sustained, steep drytooling with fairly obvious (but not too obvious) holds. Super well bolted so don’t be afraid to go for it! 110’ 16 bolts.

P3- M6: Climb up and right off the belay with a bouldery crux right off the bat. 50’ 6 bolts.

P4- 5.9: The cobble pitch! Put your tools away and enjoy climbing dead vertical cobbles for over 30m! Feels very easy when the cobbles are dry and you can take gloves off, feels more like 5.9 when the cobbles are snowy and you’re climbing with gloves and numb hands. 110’ 14 bolts. 

P5- 5.8: This pitch is quite loose and chossy but thankfully it’s short. Climb past a rap anchor to gain the nice ledge at the base of the Rave Cave. 60’ 6 bolts.

P6- M10: Steep, in your face drytooling right off the belay. Techy climbing on somewhat insecure holds. No figure 4s necessary. 110’ 14 bolts.

P7- M7: Climbing starts out easy and then eases into more overhung terrain. A little chossy but not too bad and bolts right where you want them. 110’ 16 bolts. 

Location Suggest change

The Rave can be approached by climbing Curtains and continuing up or you can follow the Winter Dance/ Nutcracker ridge and traverse in. 

Protection Suggest change

16 quickdraws. 1-2 screws for the ice at the start (first bolt can also be stickclipped if the ice isn’t in)
