This route is approximately 1.5 miles up the Tonsina Creek after the bridge from the Caines Head trail and is located on the north side of the drainage. The approach to the base of this route may prove to be one of the cruxes of the climb. A gully of snow leads one through trees to the base of what appears to be a rather steep pillar of ice.
