The first pitch consists of a long section of overhanging ice that retreats in angle on the left side. A shorter section leads up to the base of the final crux pillar that continues to deliver more steep overhanging ice. First ascent party chopped out a belay to the right of the final pillar to allow access on to the final pillar.

I climbed the discontinuous ice to the right, following the skinny, hanging ice dagger to top out (1996, belayed and followed by Nora. The finish was wild, but well protected (3 equalized snargs – placed, and used, the prior day by John Weiland). I named it: Dr. Weiland’s Evil Eye. Andrew Embick, banned from Mineral Cr., was sneaking about, and may have a taken a photo.
