6th-7th Pitches- 90m (photo)/ The 2nd tier starts off with a pillar known as the Ribbon. It was fairly kicked out in March 2007, but is still quite a vertical pitch. Voids here and there leave it somewhat overhanging. We moved from right to left to avoid these obstacles. As it ascends, the Ribbon kicks back into a broader curtain and is easily ascended to the left for the 7th pitch. It offers more challenging climbing to the right. You will have to make this station into the ice. The 7th pitch takes you to the bottom of the 3rd and final tier of the upper pitches where you can feast your eyes on the massive final, and most challenging, 100m curtain. Place some screws for directional and head due right for chains on the wall to the right of the 3rd tier.
