Description Suggest change

This is one of the single best crack pitches in the Icicle IMO that nobody knows about! Exciting, exposed, splitter and classic this is not to be missed by the aspiring Leavenworth climbers.

In its previous condition this pitch was so dirty and dangerous it was practically unclimbable. The crux (which was super R rated) will easily stymie the competent 5.10 climber but is chill and super fun when sorted. After cleaning this pitch up and making it “safer” I’m hesitant to give this a pg-13 rating. Even though most of the gear is small and fiddly in spots it’s bomber where you need it!

The original start begins directly under the route and climbs a hallow crack/flakes that had some death blocks in it that were pulled. The preferred start variation go to the left of the original next to a two bolt anchor on a slab with small knobs protected by a bolt. This is where the business starts! Climb the dihedral (don’t forget you’re offset brassies) up to the roof where you will find the crux. Once you pull the roof continue up the splitter finger/tips crack with knobs for about 20m to a two bolt anchor with rings! 

Location Suggest change

Cross the narrow lower ledge till under the obvious roof. Look for the crack that splits the center of the dome which is visible from SC trail when Goat Dome pops into view.

Protection Suggest change

70m rope mandatory, small offset brassies, nuts and your smallest cams up to .5/purple totem. Black and blue totems work phenomenally! 4 QD’s for three bolts and a piton. Long runners for all your gear below the roof (besides the first bolt for the new start).
