Gunnysack Creek 2

Rating: WI4
Length: 30 meters

Route is steepest at the start then tapers out after the first 10-15 m. In the early season before the pillar has touched down at the base, there is ice on the left which can be climbed. If you take this route be prepared for a traverse right half e at up the climb.

FA:

Descent: There are options either for a walk around or a v-thread descent. The walk around is to the left at the top of the climb. Can be steep and icy. So a v-thread rappel is probably a better option.
