Description
20 meters left of Suffer Machine is an independent line with a bolted mixed start. You can climb directly up to the base (two-bolt belay) on thin ice with some mandatory rock moves or come in from the right with some bolts to protect the rock.
P1) Start at a bolted anchor at the base of the pedestal. Climb up to the roof and traverse left following bolts (9 total). You can join the ice around bolt 8 or continue up a shallow corner to where it rolls over onto ice. 15m of thin ice to the anchor on the left. M8 WI4-5 (FA graded M8-) 35m
P2) Continue up the ribbon of ice to the same bolted anchor as Suffer Machine or belay on ice in the gully. WI4-5 50-65m
P3-4) Work back left, then up whatever looks good to the top. WI5+ 70m
Rappel on threads until you meet the bolted anchors
