1st Pitch- 200’- WI 3-4/ Consisting of a huge, somewhat dirty, ice wall, this pitch gives up several lines. Easier lines can be found to the right, steeper lines up the center, thin and ugly ice to the left. We chose the center aesthetic line which was mostly WI 3 until the last 10m which offered a nice steep WI 4 curtain of sorts. To reach a small tree for a belay, you will have to stretch your 60m ropes to their limits.
