Description:

Inctredible Left facing corner sustem with sustained 5.11 stemming. A true test piece as your quads will understand quickly where the name of the route comes from. Start 100 feet left and downslope from Ice Pirates/Thin Ice at the obvious, but hard to access left facing dihedral. Bring your technique to stem up two magnificent pitches ro the exposed arete. Bail from here or do some more 5.11 climbing, joining up with Don Juan to the top. Possible to break the corner into shorter pitches bail from multiple anchors halfway up the wall. First bolt is kinda tough to get to. A stick is usually close by to stick clip.
