Length: 15 meters
From Fat City and Urban Ice: “This obscure climb is located (no joke) on the Left Fork of the Right Fork of Government Creek. A two hour approach gets one to this difficult little formation on the right side of the gully. Apparently the route is clearly visible from Lazer St., beyond the airstrip on the Edgerton Parks Road which is reached by turning west from the end of the pavement just past Hatcher Pass grocery on Fishhook Road. Get your maps out for this one.”
Fortunately, we have a more current description…
From Marcin Ksok in 2022: “This route is located in Government Creek drainage above Government Peak Recreation Area. Consists of one short pitch of WI4. It is visible from the Nordic ski trails. Although we did not see any evidence of prior ascent, the high visibility of the route suggest that someone might have ventured up it in the past.”
FA: Pat Thompson, Scott Mignery, and Mike Dagon, 1987.
Descent: Rap the route.
