Length: 50 meters
Pitches: 1

On the left hand side of the Coffee Break Wall. Take the obvious sustained ice prow for about 40m and then continue on moderate ice/snow for another 10m to find a bulge of ice to belay from or traverse over to join the routes to the right for more ice.

Descent: Rap (v-thread) the route.

Snow machine/ski/bike out to the outwash plain by Exit Glacier(7.5 miles). On the left hand side of the canyon looking at the toe of the glacier there is a buttress of rock where park employees have been known to take coffee break in the summer(according to one of the first ascent climbers). Follow this buttress for a third of a mile navigating one short 4th class scramble (could be trivial with good snow). Then drop into a slot canyon below the wall on the left.
