Description
Psycho Killer is comprised of three pitches of moderate ice, a textbook corner torque crack, and the most outrageous ice roof I have ever onsighted.
Pitches one, two, and three: Climb three moderate ice pitches on the right side of the Big Wave Wall aiming for a left-leaning left-facing rock corner. Position the third belay accordingly.
Pitch four: Climb the striking corner crack. Pitons and beaks were left in situ for subsequent parties. Belay on fixed gear on a nice ledge beneath the ice roof.
Pitch five: Climb the ice roof. There is marginal rock protection up and right of the belay. This pitch is very committing and my belayer did not follow it. Eight years later, Psycho Killer remains unrepeated.
