Description Suggest change

Ice Cream Float ascends the classic 12a opening dihedral of Ice Cream Direct and then breaks right via a mantle to a good ledge.  Get a good rest before moving right to clip the first bolt on the headwall.  Move up the headwall (staying left of bolt) which is peppered with trade-mark hawksbill crimps.  Once you reach the good horizontal move right to clip bolt #2.  One can ascend the final headwall left or right of the bolt line to gain the obvious horizontal (with gear) below the roof.  One final roof guards the chains and a stellar view of Linville Gorge.  

Protection Suggest change

5 bolts, #1 Camelot protects mantle after 5.12 dihedral, red C3 below roof.
