Description
Mexican Overdrive was the first big route done on the upper walls of Icefall Brook, and it's hard to overstate the effort that got it done. No helicopter for the Daves. They came up the Bush River logging roads, and then skied, snowshoed, and post-holed up into the cirque.
P1: Ascend steep snow slopes to a pitch of WI4 ice to the base of the main flow.
P2-4: WI5 to the top.
Rappel the route.
