Starts from the upper terrace in Cirque Creek, climb steep ice in a corner staying close to the rock on the right-hand side. Crux at ¾ height. The first half of the route was climbed on mainly rock protection with the occasional ‘psychological’ ice screw. 650m to the ridge of Crosscut.

In the new Darrans Winter Grading, V,4 feels about right. (There was no WI5) Really fun route. Late season / spring often brings good conditions.
