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.

Lat/Long: 63.525543/-145.8120304 Approach is a 3km walk up Gunnysack creek. Be prepared for a bit of a slog, especially early season. Gunnysack 1 is found a few thousand feet before Gunnysack 2. The only real obstacle on the approach is a narrow part of the creek constricted by boulders on either side. Be prepared to scramble around either side as the ice is rarely stable here.
