This stout little pillar Image is located in the Skookum valley area. The drainage that the pillar sits in is very hard to see unless you’re really close to it. Basically you’re going to head up into the valley and look for some difficult looking pillars of ice on the right side of the valley. From this formation, Old Chub is the 4th formation of ice that you can’t see from the valley floor. It’s the next drainage right of the 3rd formation of ice that also sits in a very obvious drainage, that you’re able to see. Just start heading towards that drainage but cut right before getting to it, go up uphill for about 400 yards and keep your eyes open… We continued on to the summit ridge when the ice ran out, it’s a great view and a good day out.
Descent: Rap the route.
