Discharged

A very cool route with an alpine feel. Discharged climbs the large chimney in the middle of the Drip Buttress. Though south-facing, it does not require the same cold snap/cloudy conditions as other south-facing routes because the ice is in a deep chimney.

P1) M2, steep snow. 100'

P2) WI4-, M4: An awesome pitch! Enter the chimney, climbing 50' inside of it on a beautiful, narrow ribbon of ice. Follow this way back in until you can squeeze your way upwards on a mix of ice and rock until you get to a nice ledge and a bulge of ice to build an anchor in. 120'

P3) M6, PG-13: Climb the bulge of ice and continue upwards over spicy terrain in a corner. With rock shoes and no snow, this pitch would be 5.9. With snow, ice, and mountain boots, it's certainly engaging. 150'

P4) M4: A mellower version of the pitch below. Continue upwards over easier terrain until you reach the giant ledge systems.

Rap the route, likely leaving gear, or rap the route Sisu (See the main "Drip Buttress" page on Mountain Project)
