Description

Tucked away in a narrow zawn between the Frozen Wave Area and Box Bay, this wall contains a number of good problems. Descriptions to follow.

Problems:

  1. V1 Start beneath the arete, and climb directly up on good holds.
  2. V3 Reach up to sometimes-damp holds, then make a powerful move up to good holds in the mid-height break. From here a superb move using the obvious sidepull/undercut leads to the top.
  3. TBC Unconfirmed line, may change.
  4. Impossible Arete Project Described erroneously as a project, as it is, as the name suggests, impossible. Now there's a challenge! From the obvious low jugs, levitate up the arete, making good use of no holds at all.
