Description Suggest change

An impressive route with a distinctive yellow-green phlegmy color. The Lewis/Wilcox book grades this as WI3-5.

P1 (WI3): Climb the left side of the rock buttress. Belay at a tree on the ledge.

P1 (WI4): Climb the pillar on the right side of the rock buttress. At the top, traverse left on lower-angle ice and belay at a tree on the ledge.

P2: Climb the upper pillar to the trees.

Rappel or walk off.

Location Suggest change

From the parking lot at the top of Crawford Notch, walk south on the railroad tracks through a cut in the rock and a bit further. The Snot Rocket is very obvious on your right, immediately after crossing the 75-100ft-long trestle.

Protection Suggest change

Standard ice rack plus some rock gear if you fancy the right-side mixed variation. There is supposed to be a piton 25 feet up on the first pitch (right side).
