Description:

This icefall forms over the rock climb Grunt. It has more character about it than the other routes and can vary in difficulty a fair bit. The main difficulty usually comes at the bottom where insufficient ice will leave you dangling by your tools, with a Herculean pull up (or boost from your planer) required to get your front points in the ice. FA. Ron Halka, Chuck Waring (p.s. In warm weather, the amount of water that pours out of the gully at the top of the climb should make other climbers realize where the route name came from.)
