Description

If mud caked holds and loose rock are your thing, look no further. A serious sense of adventure is needed for this one...and a helmet. This route follows a huge left facing corner system on the shoulder of Mount Alice. Climb a low angle corner, cleaning holds along your way. Follow the aesthetic corner to a weakness where you can traverse left into a gully. Be aware to not knock loose rock onto your belayer! Climb the gully trending right toward the top. Continue up the gully occasionally kicking steps in mud to the large left facing corner above. Climb the massive corner to the top and exit left to avoid loose blocks. Belay on the top of the ridge. Descent: Hike off to the right and down the hikers trail.

Location

Located on the south end of Mount Alice's south ridge. Take the hiker's trail until you can traverse across snow into the bowl on your left. Continue traversing below the cliff until you reach the huge obvious left facing corner system.

Protection

Helmet!! Standard rack. Crampons & ice axe (optional) for approach.
