This is a large “bridal veil” style flow located on the south side of the Sheep river drainage. From what I remember it was about 100m of climbing at WI4.

Snowmachine, 4 wheeler, or fly into the sheep creek drainage. The nearest access point by land is from Kachemak Silo. From there you can take the Dolima trail to Sheep River. Cross the fox river with your sno machine (hip waders wouldnt be a bad call), and make your way to sheep creek through trees/alders. Once you are on the sheep its straightforward to get below the climb. Once below you'll need to bushwack through about 400ft of devils club / alders to get to it from the valley floor, hence the name "Devils club in my crotch."
