Description:
Usually climbed in two pitches, a 70M rope will allow for a single pitch. Beautiful ice located behind Sundance Ski Resort, an approximate 45 min approach (scout the trail in the summer, located north of the creek and the private property) up the Stewart Falls hiking/snowshoe trail. The left side curtain is typically climbed in two pitches, though the right side is steeper and rarer to find in climbable shape, as the multiple pillars have a large volume of water moving behind them. A hanging WI6 dagger to the right of the ice has reportedly been climbed, though I am unsure what the M-rating is to gain the ice.Descent Options:
No anchors exist at the top, descent is typically a 50M hiking traverse north to a gully, which will drop you out at your packs

January Climbing
This climb is usually an early season climb due to the location at the bottom of a monstrous bowl providing significant avie danger in the wrong conditions. In low snow years it may be climbed until it melts out. In Jan, this climb receives early morning sun, from sunrise until just before noon, so bring the Gore-Tex if it is less than overcast.
