Very fun
This is a great route, when trail is broke in it is about 1-1.5 hours in, with great areas to rack up. There is a couple of approach ice steps that can be easily soloed, make your way to the base of the route and decide on a dry line, 1st pitch is between wi 4-5 depending where you go but take a look at all the hanging daggers, I found a great ice cave 50m up on the left side, 2nd pitch I left the cave to the left up a short piller to another piller to a mixed traverse to a hanging belay. 3rd had a small mixed move to globs of ice held together by delaminated ice with poor pro for a few meters to a small ledge. Pitch 4 went up a layered curtin with poor pro for 10 meters and started to drop off in angle for another 20m to the top. We topped out to a huge cool valley and rapped murchison.
