Start at a crack/corner system directly between Sumo
and Ikon. You will see two cracks that lead up to the
same chimney. Consolation prize started up the right
hand crack then moved left into the chimney to exit
onto the approach ramp of Ikon. Six full rope lengths of
sustained climbing at grade M6, until the angle relents
for the last 40m which go at M4. Carry a full rack of
gear from small pitons through to #4 Camalot. The line
is very straight and direct with only a slight deviating
zig zag on the second to last pitch, which starts up right
then cuts left around a rock pinnacle. The summer rock
climb Breaking in Brett goes direct through this pinnacle.
You could do this in winter but the climbing is run out
and a fall from the top of the pinnacle would likely result
in a ground fall to the ledge below.
Have climbed the left crack on the first pitch, bit loose, would take the right one!
