W5 / 5.6 - 30m |
This takes a rarely formed pillar to the right of Quick & Dirty up to a rock corner, over a small roof and then traversing right to gain some more ice. It has only formed twice in the same conditions as the first ascent. In these conditions it was a gem of a route. Usually the bottom pillar never comes in, meaning it is more of a rock climb than ice. A descent corner crack extends up to the roof. Watch out, however, the crack can be a bit rotten in places. Pulling the roof is fairly strenous. Undoubtably having some ice to latch on to would make things substantially easier. In usual shape I would hazard a guess at M5, but this is more of a guess than anything.
