Description Suggest change

P1. Climb a low-angle ice ramp for about 150' until the steepening ice wall is reached. Takes good screws. Belay off newly bolted anchors on the left wall.

P2. (an optional short pitch) Climb the ice face trending left until you reach a small snow ledge, 100', WI4. Belay here using screws, there is also a two pin and rock thread anchor. This anchor can be used for a belay; however, bring a new cord to rebuild this anchor as of 12/18/2024.

P3. Climb the narrowing tube with thinning ice. A new protection bolt was placed in December 2024, and a protection pin was re-hammered to protect the topout. Climbers may be able to wiggle in small cams in the BD 00-0.3 size range. Once over the bulge, climb an easy snow ramp to a newly bolted anchor on the right side of the wall.

Descent: rappel the route in two double length rappels using 60m ropes. The first rappel puts you at the base of the WI4 climbing, and the second rappel takes you to the base of the route.

Location Suggest change

Find yourself at the Angel Creek Campground parking area, and spot the climb. FecMec is easy to spot on the road while driving. 

Head West into the trees for a 45 minute approach through light trees and small brush eventually making your way to an opening where the route is in view.

Protection Suggest change

A standard rack of screws with some stubbies for the upper pitch.
