Description:

Thin line of ice in a long corner that’s great for steaming and dry pointing off of. Quite a famous climb as Orient Bay climbs go. I believe it has appeared in Climbing as well as Rock and Ice. Another fun fact: If you have a 05/06 copy of Black Diamond's "Ice/Alpinism" catalogue, turn to the second page, there’s a nice picture of Sean Issac climbing this route. Considered the classic "test piece" of the area, it’s a solid WI 5. It’s about 75m long and depending on what you want to do can either be two pitches or one long pitch. A 60m rope will work for a single pitch ascent, but it’s tight. If you want to break it up into two, use this beta: Pitch 1: (WI5, 50m) Begin in the icy corner and climb continuously technical, brittle ice to a small rock ledge on the right side. Save screws for the belay. Pitch 2: (WI4, 20m) Climb your choice of the ice pillars that drape the vertical wall above. Descent: Rappel Eveil des Sens, which is the climb immediately to the right. Conditions very from year to year. When I climbed the route it was very thin and I ended up dry pointing on the rock fairly often. Defiantly recommend it.
