Wet and Fun
First pitch was dripping but real plastic ice so fairly easy. The rest of the climb wasn't as wet but still plastic ice and not as steep. Lots of fun.

Excellent climb
3 long pitches, only the 1st is in the 4 range. Easier on the left side. Middle groove was 4+, right side may be a 5. There was a sling anchor at the top of the 1st pitch this year.
