Wild Earp

Rating: WI5/6
Length: 120 meters

We believe this route takes an alternate line to Tinsle. Climb over the main curtain, Curtain Call, and ascend to the right ending just left of the O’ Christmas Tree pillar. Climb through overhanging terrain heading right and finish on a sometimes continuous line to the canyon rim. This photo does not show the continuous line of ice ending on the canyon rim.
