Description
This is a reliable ice climb, albeit with a long approach. Difficulty ranges from WI2-4, depending on your line. Some of the approach options cross through serious avalanche terrain, and the route itself is in an avalanche path. Additionally, a shelf on the route about 2/3-3/4 of the way up is prone to avalanche.Route can be done in 2-3 pitches with twin/half ropes. There are three old pitons in a prominent rock formation at the top to rap from. A V-thread is required for the other rap(s). Depending on conditions, there is a snow patch at the bottom on the climbers left that you can rap to in two raps with twin 70s. A fun alpine feeling climb in Anchorage's front range.
