Dan DaltonGreat shot!

Voted 10/10

Maybe it is just the angle, but this first section looks like WI2 tops. The upper curtain looks to be WI4 though. Looks to be a fun route. Well done!

Yeah, it's a little steeper than it looks and it's a little thinner than it looks. The conditions in the photo are about as fat as they get, too. It is a decieving climb to look at: looks awful from the road, then disappointing from the base, then awful again once you get going. I got suckered into leading the first pitch the first time we climbed it. I believe the words were, "This looks easy enough", and those were the last non-profane words I spoke until the belay. Then again, I am a chicken and also still harbor the delusion that ice screws may work sometimes (actually I've seen them work, which makes me miss them even more when they're not available).
