Ascent Notes for: Broken Hearts - WI5 Average Rating : 4.50/5

I climbed the 1st pitch to do the EVAC/Rescue Class. The ice was medium soft that day.

Climbed the first 4 pitches on styrofoam ice. of those, the 3rd pitch was the hardest, going at WI4. There was a fracture running across the pillar near the top, and my partner sent some bigass chunks of ice falling. The 4th offered about 100' of sustained WI3 climbing. Hiked up and took a look at My Only Valentine(5th pitch) and the Carotid Artery, but decided to save it for another day. During the traverse for the walkoff, a good sized boulder came smoking down from up high and came to rest at the base of the 4th pitch, right where we would've been if we'd chosen the much faster option of rapping the route. There were already V-threads in place on each pitch. The South Fork never fails to make for a memorable day of climbing.

Climbed to the 5th, then ran out of light. Amazing!

The top of the third pitch was melted out. Been up BH many, many times.
