Rating: WI3
Length: 35 meters
Pitches: 1
15 meters of easy ice leads to 20 meters of steeper ice reaching WI3 in difficulty. 25 meters of of low angle snow/scree leads to a rock sling.

Descent: Rappel route by slinging a large rock, or if the canyon to the left of climb is frozen enough to be passable, you can walk off to climbers left and walk back to the bottom through the canyon.

Approach via the Jack River corridor, or buy AHTNA land use permit for the day and cross the river one time near the beaver dam/lakes. Be cautious on river crossing(s). Ski or hike depending on season.
“Travel on Knik Lake until the glacier butts up against the rock. Look up and right- the wall is obvious.”
the location description here might be off by a few 100 kms.
Whatcha talking about?! Thanks for pointing that out, Jeff. The route approach was a little off. It is corrected now.
