Rating: WI4
Length: 110 meters, 2+ pitches
Climb up a 10 meter snow angle and over the first main ice pillar of Curtain Call. The route becomes a walk up until the first full pitch length will end. The best option from here is to climb a short pitch to the base of the last steep pillar (crux) of the route. After the crux another 45 meters of moderate, and possible thin ice (WI2-3) will get you to the canyon rim. (Note – This route is slightly under 2 rappels, but when leading from the very bottom, it may take more than three pitches depending upon the route and protection placements.)
