Description Suggest change

One of Orient Bay's longest routes, the crux is catching this rarely formed route when it comes in. On the FA, the route was climbed in two pitches. 

P1: 35m. An apron of ice leads to a vertical pillar. Climb steep ice to trees on a sloping ledge.

P2: 35m. Climb a beautiful pitch of sustained bumps and grooves to the top.

Location Suggest change

Highness is located approximately 3km north of Hully Gully, where the highway begins a downhill stretch.  Park well off the road and approach through trees and talus to the base.

Protection Suggest change

Screws and tree anchors.
