Ascent Note
Difficulty: M6
Protection: Stubbie screws, maybe wires and small cams if first pitch isn't ice.
Description: Very aesthetic, WI 5 or sketchy M6 on the first 100 'pitch depending. Second pitch is stellar as well, thin runnel of ice with stemming off opposing walls from time to time and sort of inspiring screws. Third pitch is fat 200 ' of blue WI4 that seems to go on forever. Stay out from under your leader on this bit by moving the belay waaay to the right and out of the line of fire. Very popular, so don't even think about it during the chicks w/picks gig or the Ouray Ice Festival. Rappel on climbers left.
